Raptors Bounce Back Strong, Top Bulls 110-101

Ingram didn’t just fill up the stat sheet with points—he grabbed eight rebounds and dished out six assists, showing the all-around game that makes him so dangerous. This is the kind of performance that reminds you why Toronto made the move to bring him in.

Balanced Attack Gets the Job Done

While Ingram led the charge, he had plenty of help. Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and Ja’Kobe Walter each chipped in 14 points, and RJ Barrett added 13. This balanced scoring attack is becoming a trademark of this Raptors team—when one guy has an off night, someone else steps up.

The depth showed up when it counted. Walter, in particular, is starting to carve out a bigger role off the bench, and his 14 points came with three steals that disrupted Chicago’s flow. After the game, Raptors coach praised Walter’s growing confidence, noting that the team believes he’s ready for bigger challenges ahead.

Bulls Can’t Stop the Skid

For Chicago, this loss stings even more because it’s their seventh straight defeat. The Bulls were without head coach Billy Donovan, who was away following his father’s passing on Saturday. Assistant coach Wes Unseld Jr. stepped in to guide the team, but Chicago just couldn’t find the firepower to keep pace.

Simons led the Bulls with 20 points in just his fifth game since arriving from Boston in a trade. He showed flashes of what he can bring to this team, especially late in the game when he tried to spark that comeback. Isaac Okoro added 16 points, but it wasn’t enough.

The return of Josh Giddey and Tre Jones from hamstring injuries was supposed to give Chicago a boost. Both played about 21 minutes, with Giddey contributing five points and five assists while Jones finished with 12 points and six assists. They’re getting their legs back under them, but the timing just wasn’t there yet.

Raptors Rolling at the Right Time

Toronto improved to 33-23 with the victory, notching its eighth win in 12 games. Sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference, they’re starting to look like a team that could make some noise come playoff time.

The Raptors are playing with confidence on both ends of the floor. They forced 20 turnovers from Chicago while only coughing it up 14 times themselves. That’s the kind of disciplined basketball that wins in February and March.

What’s Next

The Raptors hit the road to face Milwaukee on Sunday, while the Bulls will look to snap their losing streak when they host Detroit on Saturday night. Chicago opens a seven-game homestand, which could be just what they need to turn things around—or it could get ugly fast if they can’t find a way to stop the bleeding.

For Toronto, the momentum is real. They’ve got the talent, the depth, and now the confidence. If they can keep this up, don’t be surprised if they’re playing deep into the spring.
