CHICAGO -- The Toronto Raptors have struggled all season to establish a defensive identity, which has kept them from remaining among the elite teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Chicago Bulls, meanwhile, haven't been able to create any sort of identity, which has them holding on for their playoffs lives entering Tuesday night's meeting with the Raptors at the United Center.
The Bulls have been reeling of late and are coming off a woeful six-game road trip when they lost four of six, including the final three games by an average of 26 points per game.
