Raptors 102, Bucks 98: Greivis Vasquez poured in 26 points as visiting Toronto moved a step closer to clinching the Atlantic Division title.

Vasquez knocked down six 3-pointers to pace the Raptors, who lead the Brooklyn Nets by 2 1/2 games in the race for the division.

Toronto needed less than 2 1/2 minutes to erase a nine-point halftime deficit - pulling ahead on DeRozan's turnaround jumper - but ended the quarter by going scoreless for the final 2 1/2 minutes, allowing the Bucks to enter the fourth with a 76-75 lead. Toronto went ahead for good on Vasquez's sixth 3-pointer with 5:24 remaining, and Valanciunas put the game away with a three-point play on Vasquez's setup with 1:43 left.
