TORONTO (AP) — Nikola Vucevic scored 24 points, Coby White added 19 and the Chicago Bulls held on to beat the Toronto Raptors 122-121 on Monday night for their fourth win in six games.
Talen Horton-Tucker scored 15 points and Ayo Dosunmu had 12 as seven Bulls players reached double figures.
Chicago’s Lonzo Ball missed six of his first seven 3-point attempts before making a key shot from long distance late in the fourth.
Bulls guard Josh Giddey had to be helped off the court midway through the third quarter after rolling his right ankle while trying to defend a shot. He did not return. Giddey finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in 24 minutes.
RJ Barrett scored 32 points and Gradey Dick had 27 as Toronto almost erased a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but the short-handed Raptors lost their fifth straight.
