Raptors 118, Bulls 113
Still on break: The Bulls celebrated the start of the NBA’s stretch run by playing the worst defense imaginable. Toronto shot 58 percent from the field and scored 118 points, handing the Bulls a brutal loss.
Too little, too late: Derrick Rose scored 19 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter but missed a jumper and had a driving attempt blocked in the final minute. A winded Joakim Noah grabbed 16 rebounds in his return from a thumb injury.
Gone, but not forgotten: James Johnson, traded from the Bulls to Toronto on Tuesday, started for the Raptors and scored 9 points against his former team.
