Bogut stars for Bucks Updated: 17:20, Sunday April 3, 2011 
Andrew Bogut scored 10 points and hauled down 11 rebounds as Milwaukee finished strongly to score a 93-87 overtime NBA win over Philadelphia.
The victory, earned despite the Bucks missing a three-pointer on the buzzer of regulation, keeps Milwaukee’s slim finals hopes alive.
The Bucks are now three and a half games behind Indiana for the eighth and final place in the Eastern Conference with six games remaining.
Elsewhere, Chicago has taken another step towards top spot in the NBA’s Eastern Conference by notching their 15th win in 17 games against Toronto on Saturday.
Derrick Rose notched 36 points and 10 assists for the Bulls, who defeated the short-handed Raptors 113-106 to open a three game lead over nearest rivals Miami in the Conference race.
Chicago are also now within one win over the NBA’s best overall record, currently held by San Antonio, and the victory means Tom Thibodeau has broken legendary coach Phil Jackson’s club record for most wins in the first year at the helm.
In Oakland, Golden State’s 99-92 win over Dallas has hurt the Mavericks’ hopes of moving to second in the Western Conference.
At the other end of the Western Conference’s playoff race, Zach Randolph’s 22 points helped Memphis to a 106-89 win over Minnesota and into seventh spot in the finals chase.
The loss was Minnesota’s 10th straight defeat.
In the day’s other result, the Los Angeles Clippers edged Oklahoma 98-92.
