?NASHVILLE -- Middle linebacker Moise Fokou will miss his third straight game for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

. Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in
his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks
even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. Munchak says Fokou is going to
take almost all that time because of the demands of the position and how the
linebacker plays. The Titans hope to ease Fokou back into the lineup Thursday
night against Indianapolis, even if limited. Colin McCarthy will start for
Fokou. Right Tackle David Stewart (shoulder) practiced for the first time this
week Friday. Cornerback Tommie Campbell (shoulder) missed a third straight
practice, and defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (calf) did not practice. They are
questionable.

A night that began with the unfurling of their Atlantic Division banner ended
with the Toronto Raptors setting a franchise record for victories. But they
barely paused to soak up the good feelings Wednesday after beating the lowly
Milwaukee Bucks 110-100 to notch win No. 48. "Weve got a bigger goal," said
Kyle Lowry. Greivis Vasquez -- filling in for all-star DeMar DeRozan, who was
given the night off to rest up for the post-season -- scored 25 points to top
the playoff-bound Raptors (48-33). Lowry added 24 points, Jonas Valanciunas had
14 points and 13 rebounds, Tyler Hansbrough scored 12 points and grabbed 11
boards, while Amir Johnson finished with 10 points. "Franchise record, (but)
were just going to keep pushing and see whats next for us," Johnson said. "Were
always looking for the next thing, just have to keep moving." Toronto had won 47
games twice before -- in 2000-01 and 2006-07. Its been a remarkable turnaround
for a team that went from 48 losses last season to now 48 wins with one game to
go -- they wrap up the regular-season Wednesday at New York. "All it takes is
the right chemistry, the right group of guys, and you can do whatever it takes,"
DeRozan said. "You dont need no big-name players, you dont need this, that. . .
what people supposedly say you need. "I think were proof of that, and we
continue to keep growing and keep learning and keep building and its on to the
next step." The Raptors stumbled out to a 6-12 season start. The about-face came
after the blockbuster seven-player trade in December that sent Rudy Gay to the
Sacramento Kings for Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson, and Chuck Hayes.
"Im glad we made the trade for those guys, they came in and theyve done an
unbelievable job and the coaching staff has done an unbelievable job also,"
Lowry said. The Raptors never trailed Monday, and were up by as much as 22
points in the second quarter. They took an 84-69 advantage into the fourth
against a Bucks team that is guaranteed to finish with the worst record in the
NBA this season. But the Bucks showed some fight in the fourth, pulling to
within seven points on an alley-oop dunk by Jeff Adrien with 7:27 to play. That
was as close as the Bucks would come as Lowrys six points were part of a 12-5
Raptors run that put them ahead by 14 with three minutes to play. Raptors coach
Dwane Casey wasnt thrilled with his teams performance. "I know its ringing
hollow, but we still have to continue to work to get better," Casey said. "Were
not where we need to be, defensively, offensively, for the playoffs. Were not a
veteran team who can take three or four games off, and expect to come back and
keep that rhythm." Ramon Sessions scored 21 points to top tthe Bucks (15-66) in
their 14th straight loss on the road.

. Adrien added 19 points. The Raptors remained tied for third
in the Eastern Conference with the Chicago Bulls, who beat Orlando 108-95 on
Monday, so the seeding wont be determined until the final game Wednesday. The
Raptors could play either Washington, Brooklyn or Charlotte in the opening round
of the playoffs, beginning Saturday or Sunday. The Raptors opened the festive
night by unfurling their second Atlantic Division banner -- clinched last Friday
-- from the Air Canada Centre rafters. "It was cool, man. It was really cool,"
Lowry said. "But Ill think about it after the season, for me personally. Im sure
the guys will look back and reflect after the season is over." DeRozan addressed
the crowd of 18,821, saying "We want to thank you guys for the support
throughout the whole season, and we want you guys to help us unfurl the banner
as division champs." DeRozan counted down "3-2-1," as the banner dropped to
fireworks and cheers from the crowd. "We fed off our fans, and we got to have
the most loyal fans in the league," DeRozan said. "Ive been here through the
struggles and the tough times, and our fans still were right there with us along
this journey. It felt good to share it with them because they played a major
part in it as well." Toronto had only won the division title once before -- in
2006-07, which was also the last time they made the playoffs, losing in the
first round to New Jersey. Casey feared the banner celebration might work in the
Bucks favour. "I think its great for the fans," Casey said. "(But) if you have
anything in your trunks, youre probably going to get upset and come out swinging
if you see the other team hanging a banner on you." Casey neednt have worried.
The Raptors sprinted out of the gate, assembling an 11-point lead with three
minutes to go in the first quarter on a three by Vasquez. They led 32-19 heading
into the second. The Raptors continued to pull away in the second, a
Nando De Colo three-pointer giving the home team a 22-point lead about seven
minutes before halftime. But the Bucks closed the quarter with a 15-6 run and
Toronto led 59-46 at the break. The Raptors went back up by 20 late in the third
quarter on a three by Lowry, and led 84-69 with a quarter left to play. NOTES:
The Raptors will host a "Party in the Square" in Maple Leaf Square for playoff
games like the Toronto Maple Leafs did for their playoff series last season
against Boston. . . New Leafs president Brendan Shanahan sat courtside with Tim
