Raptors Eliminate from Playoff Contention After Bulls Loss
The Toronto Raptors' 137-118 loss to the Chicago Bulls has officially eliminated them from playoff contention, marking a disappointing conclusion to their season as they stand at 28-48. This outcome reflects a strategic shift by the Raptors, who have opted to rest core players and focus on building for the future, particularly in the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery. The franchise recently signed All-Star Brandon Ingram to a three-year deal, although he has yet to debut due to injury, highlighting their commitment to long-term prospects alongside young talents like Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett. The Raptors are positioned to improve in future seasons, despite having lower odds for a top draft pick compared to teams like the Wizards and Hornets. Meanwhile, the Bulls secured a Play-In Tournament spot, contrasting with Toronto's more cautious approach to the remainder of the season. This strategy underscores the Raptors' intention to build a stronger team rather than scramble for a low playoff seed this year.
