Scottie shooting a contested two over Dragic while Dragic comes down and makes an uncontested three is not a good trade. Barnes has to put that dude in the rim. – 7:51 PM

Alex Caruso has 8 rebs, 7 asts midway through 3rdQ. His season-high in rebs + asts was 9.
Either he’s feeling better or getting more involved. #Bulls trail Raptors 68-65 – 7:29 PM

Don’t see many guys doing this to Caruso. Scottie Barnes nice in-and-out dribble, dips the shoulder and powers it up there. pic.twitter.com/tYNLvqYtik – 7:27 PM

Great ball movement on that Vooch 3. Bulls are finally figuring out you gotta make quick reads/decisions against this D – 7:26 PM

Dalen Terry in one of his first real rotational stints with the Bulls, looked great defensively. Moving his feet and hips really well, staying solid on a bunch of different assignments. pic.twitter.com/nyKH1iwsb1 – 7:23 PM

The Raptors have done a good job of staying home on DeRozan’s pump fake tonight – something that his former assistant coach, Nick Nurse, said was nearly impossible pre-game. Mr. 20K and the Raps all-time leading scorer has just 6 points and 3 FGA in 19 minutes. – 7:22 PM
![Joe Cowley](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1229276687281672193/H2OTQNvw_normal.jpg)
PWill got fouled on that … no-call. Bears fans everywhere fall on the ground and cry! – 7:21 PM

That’s,I believe, the third roll to the rim Koloko has finished tonight
That’s been hugely missing from Toronto’s offence for years – 7:20 PM
![Michael Grange](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1273955777586348033/vI8nHOCu_normal.jpg)
Trailing by nine after 1Q, Raps going into the half leading Bulls 55-49 led by three Fred VanVleet triples and six 2Q Bulls turnovers. NBA’s newest 20,000 pt scorer DeMar DeRozan held to six in the first half. – 7:10 PM
![Josh Lewenberg](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1176156931796492293/mirrRreb_normal.jpg)
That was the best half Koloko’s played as a pro. He’s finished on the roll (7 points), been active on the glass (5 rebounds), and blocked 5 shots in 17 minutes – a big reason why the Bulls are shooting 8-for-21 (!!) in the paint. – 7:09 PM
![Payal Doshi](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/966378027771879424/FPh9SRqh_normal.jpg)
Double teaming DeMar is paying dividends for the Raptors.
Toronto has held DeRozan to 6 points. – 7:09 PM

Kidd on Luka’s hook vs. Toronto Fri: “I like the baby hook that he had. Thats better than the one-leggers, because we haven’t really seen that one. But that was beautiful and naturally only he can make it look so easy. He’s in a different place right now, which is cool to watch.” – 7:08 PM
![Doug Smith](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/722847275332939776/VP_xJMqf_normal.jpg)
Thad Young played the last 9:17 of the second quarter and was a plus-17. I don’t put a ton of stock in individual plus-minus but he absolutely had an impact – 7:08 PM

Strong close to the half. With a 32-13 run, the Raptors went from trailing by 13 early in the 2nd Q to leading by 6 at halftime. After starting 0-for-3 from 3, VanVleet’s gone 3-of-5 and leads the Raps in points (15) and assists (5). Looking more like himself after a slow start – 7:07 PM

Halftime: Raptors 55, Bulls 49
Toronto’s defensive activity has limited DeRozan (6 pts, 2 FGA) and discombobulated Bulls, at large
Nine turnovers (six via Raptors steals) in first half. Six of those came in a 2nd quarter Toronto won 34-19 – 7:05 PM

Raps’ defence turns up, Bulls cool down from 3, and the Raps up 55-49 at half. VanVleet has 15 and 5, Barnes has 11-4-3. DeRozan has taken just two field goals and two free throws thanks to Raps’ schemes. – 7:04 PM

Really good second quarter offensively for the Raptors, now up 55-49 at the break – 7:04 PM

VanVleet comes off two more screens for a catch and shoot 3

Bulls offense stabilized once Caruso returned. He’s thrown a couple of fantastic passes vs the Raptors scrambling defense. – 6:59 PM
![Nate Duncan](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1273079491636551680/Xeaept2X_normal.jpg)
Bulls now 5/13 at the rim. Those misses are almost as good as a turnover for the Raptors running game. – 6:55 PM

Raps zone defence is is working better than their trapping defence, but they just gave up two offensive rebounds to Goran Dragic, so there are flaws. – 6:48 PM

Every trip home is special for Bulls GM Marc Eversley.
But this one proved extra special when his hometown of Brampton, Ontario dedicated a court in his name.
