Raptors 110, Bucks 100: Greivis Vasquez scored 25 points as Toronto beat visiting Milwaukee to set a franchise record with its 48th win of the season.
Kyle Lowry added 24 points, helping pick up the scoring slack for leading scorer DeMar DeRozan, who was rested by Toronto as it remains tied with Chicago for the No. 3 seed in the East. Jonas Valanciunas contributed 14 points and 13 rebounds and Tyler Hansbrough paced the reserves with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Ramon Sessions scored 21 points, Jeff Adrien had 19 points and Brandon Knight finished with 18 for the Bucks, who are without six of their top players due to injury and a suspension. John Henson added 12 points and seven rebounds off the bench for Milwaukee, which set a dubious franchise record with its 14th straight road loss.
The Raptors took a 13-point lead after the first quarter and then converted a four-point play in the first minute of the second to push the lead to 17. The lead hovered around 20 for most of the quarter before the Bucks finished off the first half on a 7-0 run to trail by 13 at the break.
Milwaukee threatened to get back within single digits midway through the third, but an 11-2 burst by the Raptors ended those hopes. Toronto took a 15-point lead into the final quarter and began emptying its bench with about three minutes left.
GAME NOTEBOOK: According to Forbes, the Raptors will have the highest average playoff ticket price of any NBA team ($370.62). … Toronto has three starters who have never played in the postseason. … The Milwaukee Brewers already have more road wins (six) this season than the Bucks (five).
