After Action Report

In Toronto, the Bulls snuck past the Raptors 96-95. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
