Zach LaVine rallies Bulls from 19-point deficit to stun Raptors in play-in elimination game

The Toronto Raptors were cruising in what looked like an easy win during Wednesday's play-in game against Chicago Bulls.

Zach LaVine had other ideas. The Bulls guard fueled a furious second-half Chicago rally from a 19-point deficit to secure a 109-105 win to advance to another play-in game against the Miami Heat. The winner of that game will secure the No. 8 seed in the East. The Raptors's season ends with the shocking loss.

Toronto opened a 28-23 first quarter lead, then capped a 30-24 second quarter with a buzzer-beating halfcourt shot from Fred VanVleet to enter halftime with a 58-47 edge.
