The Toronto Raptors got a look at Scottie Barnes' future potential but a back-and-forth game with the Chicago Bulls ended in an absurd loss
In what was an otherwise ridiculous and at times maddening night for the Toronto Raptors, Barnes showed he’s on his way to blossoming into what this organization is hoping for: A true NBA difference-maker. At times, he looked like a true superstar, nailing tough mid-range jumpers the kind normally reserved for only the league’s best. When the Chicago Bulls adjusted, he showed off his otherworldly passing chops, whizzing perfect passes to Gary Trent Jr. for a pair of threes.
None of it should have happened the way it did. Pascal Siakam had a chance to put the game away but missed a pair of free throws in overtime. Moments before that, DeMar DeRozan had a chance of his own to sink Toronto in regulation, but three missed free throws late in the fourth allowed the Raptors to stay alive.
For a moment, it looked like Toronto might just run away with the game early. The Bulls came out looking like a team that had just called a players’ only meeting following Game 1. Jakob Poeltl was working the pick-and-roll to perfection. The Raptors were getting stops and the offense was humming.A 14-2 Raptors lead evaporated as Toronto went nearly the entire second half of the first quarter without a single made field goal.
But just as quickly as things went south, somehow Toronto came roaring back. With Poeltl’s foul trouble less pressing, the Raptors returned to their high-post offense and rode 12 straight defensive stops to claw their way back with a 20-0 run of their own.
