Bulls 89 Raptors 95 F..."West Side Story Report" as Bulls hang tough and close enough to grab a "W" playing "North of the Border" it was too much Siakam and the "Klaw" of @NBHoops as Dinosaurs prevail late! #CHIvsTOR #BullsNation #WeTheNorth #WestSideStoryReport #GoBulls #TheSix

The Chicago Bulls coming out of the motel did nearly everything right for once to grab victory out of the motel but fell short. Chicago didn't shoot a good percentage but they held the home team the Toronto Raptors down as well. In the end it was too much Kawhi Leonard dba "Klaw" of New Balance Basketball as the Dinosaurs beat the Bulls 95-89.

Bulls led a low-scoring affair 20-14 after one and was down just 40-39 at the break. They stayed close after three down 68-65 with Lauri Markkanen ( 18 pts 10 rebs) and Warren Carter Jr. (16 pts 11 rebs) leading the way.

Toronto led 81-73 with just over 5 minutes remaining in the game as Chicago cut that to 85-82 with 1:21 to go in the 4th. The Bulls continued to foul and put the Raptors on the line and to their credit Toronto hit the free throws as they walk away with a 95-89 "W"!

Raptors All-Star Kawhi Leonard dba "Klaw" led all scorers with 27 points and nine boards, Raptors PF Paschal Siakam added 20 points and a dozen boards with both Fred VanVleet and Danny Green chipping in with 10 points apiece. Bulls just could not get over that hump with that one guy to lead them but they are improving.

Bulls fall to 10-27 as the raptors move to 27-11 and that's good for 2nd place in the East behind the Greek Freak led Milwaukee Bucks...
