After Action Report

In Chicago, the Raptors pulled away from the Bulls 93-83. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
