Charlie Goes Off (48pts), but Raptors Fall
The majority of Raptors players will have the next two days to stew about their latest loss, while Charlie Villanueva will be telling everyone he knows about his most productive day in the NBA.

The forward poured in 48 points but it mattered little as Toronto couldn't overcome the loss of Chris Bosh and succumbed 125-116 in overtime to the hometown Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

Villanueva's output set a team record for a rookie and far surpassed his season average of 12.3 points per game. He finished three points shy of Vince Carter's franchise mark against Phoenix on Feb. 27, 2000.

"Right now I am little disappointed and frustrated," Villanueva said. "We lost. If we won, it would have made my night even bigger."

"Somebody had to step up," Villanueva said of Bosh's injury. "Things were going right for me, but I have to give a lot of credit to me teammates. They gave me the ball in the right places."

His 48-point effort was:

The most by any Raptor this season.
The second-most ever by a Raptor not named Vince Carter.
The most by an NBA rookie this season.
The most by a Raptors rookie, eclipsing the previous record of 37, set by Marcus Camby on March 23, 1997, against Atlanta

Rookie Charlie Villanueva poured in 48 points, the most by any first-year player since Allen Iverson scored 50 in 1997 - click here to view this magnificent performance
