Bulls Overtime Win Over Raptors Secures Play-In Edge

The Chicago Bulls secured a 125-115 overtime victory against the Toronto Raptors, largely due to Coby White's crucial four-point play in the final seconds of regulation. The Bulls overcame a 16-point deficit with a strong 12-0 run late in the game, catalyzed by White's scoring. Lonzo Ball contributed significantly in overtime with two key three-pointers. Despite Scottie Barnes' 24-point performance for Toronto, the Raptors suffered from costly errors and have now lost three consecutive games. Josh Giddey supported the Bulls with 19 points and 12 assists, while missing Nikola Vucevic was evident as Chicago was outrebounded 51-45 overall. The victory places the Bulls 2.5 games ahead of the Brooklyn Nets for the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.
