It’s gone from a side conversation to one of the most perplexing storylines in the NBA. The Toronto Raptors simply cannot beat the Chicago Bulls. Tonight, they were teed up with their best opportunity in a while — no Dwyane Wade, no Nikola Mirotic, and a remaining roster that’s the most dysfunctional this side of New York City.
Of course, the sliding Raptors could not take advantage of such an opportunity. They trailed most of the game to the Bulls, tried to climb back in late, but fell short. The Bulls won 105-94, and the Raptors have lost 11 straight to the Bulls and 11 of their last 15 games overall.
