Bucks 122, Raptors 114 (OT): Ersan Ilyasova scored five of his 29 points in overtime to lead host Milwaukee to its third straight win.

Monta Ellis recorded 23 points and Brandon Jennings had a career-high 19 assists for the Bucks, who moved back above .500 for the first time since before the All-Star break. Larry Sanders contributed 13 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks.

Playing without star swingman Rudy Gay, who was sidelined with back spasms, Toronto got 21 points off the bench from Alan Anderson, including the game-tying dunk with 1.6 seconds left to force overtime. Amir Johnson added 19 points.

Ilyasova nearly won the game in regulation with a tiebreaking tip-in with 6.9 seconds left, but Anderson burned Sanders on the other end for the dramatic slam. After Sanders opened the extra session with a dunk of his own, Ilyasova had a layup and a three-point play to make it 111-104 with 2:49 remaining.

The Raptors got within four points three times down the stretch but never closer, as Jennings' only 3-pointer of the night with 39.3 seconds left ignited a game-ending 7-3 run. Toronto has lost nine straight meetings with Milwaukee and fell 7 1/2 games behind the Bucks in the race for the final playoff spot in the East.
