For the sixth straight year, the Toronto Raptors are officially playoff-bound.

With the Milwaukee Bucks defeating the Charlotte Hornets 131-114 on Saturday, the Raptors managed to clinch a post-season berth.

Currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors are still looking to catch the Bucks, who hold a three-game lead over Toronto.

The Bucks had already clinched a playoff spot on Mar. 1, becoming the first team in the NBA to do so. Coincidentally, with their victory Saturday, they aided the Raptors in becoming the second team this season officially into the post-season.
