Bulls win! This game was crazy. And this thread was one of the most active on Lemmy tonight--haha...
Chicago Bulls
91-88 with 20 seconds left! I was wrong about the blowout.
Oh! DeRozan missed the tying free throw! 9.4 seconds left. Then he got the rebound and shot it up, missed--now the refs are saying goaltending! Are we up a point? After review---no goaltending.... 90-91 Raptors.
Caruso strips Siakam, then hits the go-ahead 3 with 2.3 seconds left in OT!
Terrible start to the game. Quick timeout after falling behind 8-0. Bad three attempts, dumb turnovers, looking lost. We were down 16-6, but turned it around and lead 24-18 after Q1! We went on a 20-2 run to close the quarter out.
Craig and Caruso subbing in for LaVine and Williams gave us a spark in Q1.
Lots of lineup changes to start Q2. Built the lead to 30-23, then put all starters back in.
33-23, timeout Raptors. Raptors can't make a shot.
We actually cut it to 6 points with 2 minutes left, thanks mostly to Caruso hustle.
And DeRozan is being aggressive going to the basket.
DeRozan drew a foul on a 3 attempt. Hit the first 2, missed the 3rd and got called for a lane violation... Then Siakam fouled Caruso on the inbounds play, turned over to the Bulls. DeRozan draws another foul! 0.7 seconds left!
DeRozan hit the first free throw, missed the second! Tie game at end of regulation. This game is so bad! I have no idea how either team scored over 90 points so far. Time to have late dinner with the missus.
42-35 at the half. Raptors went on a little run to close it out, but we're looking pretty good. Sometimes we are actually looking good, other times the Raptors look so bad that it makes us look good. Be back soon!
42-23 Bulls with 4 minutes left in the first half! A 40-9 run. Holy shit!
3 minutes into Q3, we are only chucking up threes (and missing), and Toronto just tied it up at 42.
6 minutes left in the 4th, we are playing like shit. Down by 14.
We're gonna lose by 20 again. 88-73 with 4:30 left.
Caruso and Craig in the game now, making things happen. We are definitely playing better when they are in.
Down by 3 after Q3, 68-65.
DeRozan with our first points of the second half after more than 4 minutes in. This is not a great game.
They say DeRozan's layup was after the shot clock, so our first points of the second half came from White at about the 7 minute mark.
