VICTORY: Coby White scores 25, Bulls snap Raptors’ win streak in Chicago

Coby White scored 25 points and had six assists to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Toronto Raptors 122-106 on Friday, ending the Raptors’ five-game winning streak.

The Bulls, who won just their second game in five tries, had previously beaten the Raptors 122-121 in Toronto on December 16.

Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls’ center, scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the first quarter, finishing the game with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Josh Giddey added 15 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.

Chicago got strong support from its bench, with Jalen Smith scoring 17 points, Matas Buzelis adding 12, Patrick Williams contributing 11 points and nine rebounds, and Dalen Terry scoring 10 points.

For the Raptors, Scottie Barnes had 20 points and 10 rebounds, RJ Barrett finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, and Immanuel Quickley, returning from injury, scored 13 of his 14 points in the first half. Jacob Poeltl had eight points, nine rebounds, and five blocked shots. Ja’Kobe Walter, coming off the bench, scored 14 points, and Gradey Dick added 13.

Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls

The Bulls used the pick-and-roll effectively to take a 30-27 lead after the first quarter. The Raptors blocked four shots in that quarter, with three from Poeltl.

Chicago’s seven-point lead was cut to one when Walter and Davion Mitchell hit consecutive 3-pointers with 6:16 left in the second quarter. The Bulls recovered, regaining a seven-point lead before going into halftime with a 55-50 advantage.

Toronto got within one point with 7:37 left in the third quarter when Dick dunked after a nice pass from Barnes. The Raptors took the lead briefly on a layup by Barrett, but White responded with his fourth 3-pointer of the game, starting an 18-4 run that gave the Bulls an 88-74 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Raptors’ energy seemed to fade as Williams made a powerful dunk against Poeltl with 8:01 left in the fourth. Ayo Dosunmu followed with a 3-pointer, and White added a layup, extending Chicago’s lead to 19.

Jamal Shead (illness) did not play for Toronto, while Zach LaVine (personal) was out for Chicago.

The Raptors’ last winning streak longer than five games was an eight-game streak from January 29 to February 10, 2022.
