IT WAS OVER WHEN
Doug McDermott converted a layup with 28.5 seconds remaining to extend Chicago’s lead to 10 points. Despite a spirited comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, the Raptors fell to a shorthanded Bulls team 105-94 to drop their third straight game. It was Toronto’s 11th straight loss to Chicago.
SUB-OPTIMAL START
The Raptors did not get off to the kind of start they had hoped for in Chicago, shooting just 38 percent in the opening quarter. A saving grace for the Raptors was Chicago making just 43 percent of its field goals as Taj Gibson scored eight points to lead the way.
