The Toronto Raptors barely held on to a win at home against the Miami Heat. I’m sure coach Dwane Casey wanted to sit his starters after the team piled up a 17-point lead, but it was not to be. The bench bunch couldn’t hold the lead.
All this is relevant because the team had to zoom out of Toronto to visit Chicago without much rest. The roster is going to be pressed to the limit to grab a road win under those circumstances.
Happily for Raptors fans, the Bulls have been scuffling most of the season, although not as badly as at the beginning.
