Bucks in Playoffs for First Time Since 2010

Mike McGinnis/Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- Monta Ellis had 22 point, nine assists and six steals, leading the Milwaukee Bucks past the Toronto Raptors 100-83 Saturday night, and clinching the Bucks the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

"Pretty nice to be able to clinch when you have six games left so you can start getting ready for whoever your going to play against," Bucks head coach Jim Boylan said when asked about his team making the playoffs. "It's a great feeling. The guys have worked very hard and it's very satisfying to us."

Brandon Jennings had 16 points and seven assists for the Bucks, who head to the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Milwaukee held Toronto to 36 percent shooting for the game and turned the Raptors over 18 times.

If the playoffs were to start today, Milwaukee (37-39) would take on Miami, but things could change. The Bucks could still catch Boston (39-37) for the No. 7 seed.

Raptors Terrence Ross Wins Dunk Contest

Scott Halleran/Getty Images(HOUSTON) -- Terrence Ross is your new All-Star dunk contest champion.

The Toronto Raptors rookie swingman edged out defending champion Jeremy Evans Saturday night, when he jumped over a ball boy while throwing the ball through his legs and slamming it home with his right hand.

The final round between Ross and Evans was determined by fan vote. Ross received 58 percent of it for the win.

For his first dunk in the final round Ross paid tribute to the 2000 dunk contest champion Vince Carter. Ross, wearing a throwback Vince Carter Raptors' jersey, came from behind the backboard, catching a pass off the glass before windmill slamming the ball.

"I just felt like Vince is the best to do it," Ross said on why he paid tribute to him. "I tried doing his dunks...just put my own little flavor on it. It's just a homage to him and how great his dunks were."

Report: Memphis Agrees To Deal Rudy Gay To Toronto

Memphis Grizzlies/NBA(MEMPHIS, Tenn.) -- The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed in principle on a trade that will send small forward Rudy Gay and backup center Hamed Haddadi to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for forward Ed Davis, guard Jose Calderon and a second-round draft pick, ESPN is reporting.

Once the Grizzlies acquire Calderon, they are expected to turn around and deal him to the Detroit Pistons for forwards Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye, according to the report.

The Houston Rockets selected Gay out of Connecticut with the eighth overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft.  He was dealt two weeks later to Memphis along with forward Stromile Swift for forward Shane Battier.

In 479 career games with the Grizzlies, the 26-year-old Gay is averaging 17.9 points and 5.8 rebounds.
