The Toronto Raptors didn’t play their best players. The Chicago Bulls did.
The final score reflected this reality as the Bulls declawed the Raptors 105-91 for their first win of the preseason.
The Bulls finally played at full strength, with many of their key players playing normal minutes until the game became a blowout late. Unfortunately, the Raptors didn’t reciprocate with Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Pascal Siakam, and Kyle Lowry not playing.
A late “run” in garbage time made the score respectable, but this one wasn’t even close for most of it.
