Zach LaVine and the Bulls storm back from 19 points down to oust the Raptors and stay in the running for the last East playoff berth. NBA
Zach LaVine unloaded a game-high 39 points and DeMar DeRozan added 23 to boost the visiting Chicago Bulls to a come-from-behind 109-105 victory against the Toronto Raptors in an Eastern Conference play-in game on Wednesday night, April 12 .
The Bulls overcame a 19-point, third-quarter deficit against the Raptors. A 29-28 lead early in the second quarter, which lasted all of 19 seconds, was Chicago’s only advantage until the stretch run. Still, it wasn’t easy. A Pascal Siakam dunk with 19.7 seconds left brought the Raptors within 105-104. LaVine followed with a pair of free throws, and Siakam hit 1-of-3 at the line before Nikola Vucevic hit two free throws for the Bulls with 11.1 seconds left for a 109-105 lead.An 18-for-36 effort from the free throw line took a toll on Toronto, which shot 43.7% from the floor compared to 48.8% for Chicago.
Vucevic posted 14 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago. Patrick Williams chipped in 10 points and Coby White had 9 points and 5 assists.
