The Toronto Raptors dodged a bullet like they were Neo from 'The Matrix' on Thursday night, taking Game 6 and their series against the Milwaukee Bucks by eking out a 92-89 victory at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Despite leading by 25 points midway through the third quarter, the Raptors needed key buckets down the stretch, paired with some miscues on the part of the Bucks, to put away their opposition.

Milwaukee ended the third on a 15-3 run, then scored the first five points of the fourth quarter to cut into Toronto's lead even more.

They were up on Toronto, 82-80, with 2:29 remaining before the Raptors went on a 9-0 run. The Bucks never had the lead again.

Nonetheless, Jason Kidd's young core showed a great deal of heart and determination late, giving the Raptors all they could handle and then some instead of bowing out of the postseason in a blowout.
