It’s never easy to win on the road in the NBA. Winning the second half of a back-to-back is even more difficult. The Toronto Raptors convincing win against the Chicago Bulls was more impressive victory than you’d otherwise think.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair with both teams looking a little sloppy. But at the risk of falling to 1-2, Toronto turned it on from that point on. The Raptors outscored the Bulls by seven in the second quarter and took an eight-point lead to the half. By the start of the fourth, the lead was 20 and the game was decided.
