Bulls-Raptors Preview

The Chicago Bulls thought they had won their fourth straight game, but upon further review the referees didn't agree. Playing seven of their next eight on the road to conclude November might make it tough to recover.

The Bulls open that daunting stretch Wednesday night when they visit the Toronto Raptors.

Chicago (4-3) saw its three-game winning streak come to an end in somewhat controversial fashion with Tuesday's 90-89 loss to Denver. Brad Miller took an inbounds pass with 0.3 seconds to play and appeared to hit a shot at the buzzer, clinching another victory for the Bulls. However, the officials took around 10 minutes to review the play before deeming Miller hadn't released the shot in time.

"I thought it was good when I first saw it," Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro said. "That is irrelevant. The refs have to make the call. My understanding - 0.3 is enough time to catch and shoot. But I guess the ball was on his fingertips, probably. The refs made the call after looking at it about 20 times."

The Bulls will have to put that disappointment behind them quickly, as they begin a rough stretch that includes seven road games between now and the end of the month.

After visiting Toronto (3-4), Chicago returns home to face Philadelphia on Saturday before playing six games in two weeks during its annual road trip caused by the circus at the United Center.

The Bulls have dropped two of three away from home this season after going 13-28 on the road in each of the previous two campaigns.

Injuries to forward Tyrus Thomas (broken arm) and centers Aaron Gray (broken leg) and Jerome James (Achilles' tendon) have left the Bulls with only five reserves, including 38-year-old Lindsey Hunter, who has played a total of seven minutes in one game.

The short-handed state of the team means more playing time for Joakim Noah, who had 12 points and a career-high 21 rebounds in a season-high 42:40 against the Nuggets.

The Bulls could also use another strong performance from Derrick Rose. The second-year guard had a season-high 22 points, shot 10 for 17 and dished out five assists Tuesday, giving him a averages of 13.7 points and 5.6 assists on the season - still below his marks of 16.8 points and 6.3 assists in 2008-09, en route to winning the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

Rose averaged 20.0 points and 8.5 assists as Chicago dropped three of four meetings with the Raptors last season. The Bulls have also lost three of their last four trips to Toronto.

The Raptors return home for this contest before starting a four-game road trip Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

They concluded a 1-2 trip with a 131-124 loss at San Antonio on Monday, allowing a season high in points and allowing the Spurs to shoot 14 for 28 from 3-point range.

"We just have to do a better job of closing out guys," coach Jay Triano said. "I wasn't too concerned about the 3-point shots. Three-pointers happen because guys blow by. We have to man up and keep the guys in front of us. We are not doing that right now."

Toronto is allowing 111.4 points per game. Only Memphis (112.0) and Golden State (113.2) are allowing more. Offensively, the Raptors are among the highest scoring teams in the NBA, averaging 109.4 points.

Chris Bosh has been a big part of that success, ranking fifth in the NBA in scoring (29.0 ppg). He's tied with Utah's Carlos Boozer for fourth in rebounding (11.6).

The forward averaged 23.5 points and 11.3 boards in four games against the Bulls last season.

Bulls go cold down stretch as Raptors claw back for win

By Holly J. MacKenzie, for NBA.com

TORONTO (NBA.com exclusive) -- As the game clock ticked down towards two minutes remaining, Chris Bosh clenched his fists, flexed his arms, let out a scream and then smiled.

Finally, after all of the talk of rebounding, hustle and effort, his team had responded.

After allowing the Chicago Bulls to explode for 60 first-half points, the Toronto Raptors held the Bulls to just 29 second-half points and used a 14-1 run over the final 6:24 minutes to pull away for a 99-89 win at home on Wednesday.

While Bosh was as steady as he has been all season for the Raptors, finishing with 28 points and 11 rebounds, the story in this game was the effort of his teammates in the final 24 minutes of the game.

After a first half with little to celebrate, coach Jay Triano didn't have to say much to his team.

"Coach only said three things at half. [The Bulls] put 60 points on the board. I think that said enough," said reserve Antoine Wright, who had a key role in the victory, guarding Derrick Rose down the stretch.

"Enough is enough. Guys just have to take the challenge of keeping their man in front of them," Wright continued. "We're all NBA players, we're all athletic enough to be able to move our feet and communicate."

About the first half, Triano said simply, "We were embarrassed."

They had also allowed a Bulls team that had played the night before to shoot 52 percent from the floor and outrebound them by 10 in those opening 24 minutes.

Shortly before the half, Wright said Bosh came over to his teammates in a timeout and told them not to be fooled by the close score and that they would need a better effort to win the game.

"I just felt it was kind of fool's gold that we were going for at the time. We were still high-fiving and that's cool, but we had a few straight possessions where we didn't do our coverages and we left Andrea [Bargnani, 16 points] out to dry with only one guard," Bosh said. "It wasn't a good series of events but we still got two points. I just wanted everybody to realize that it wasn't good. Don't be fooled by that, don't think we were doing good because we were not. If we want to win this game we're going to have to be a lot better."

The combination of Bosh's message with Triano's halftime "speech" worked.

Momentum swung in the Raptors favor in the third quarter thanks to the hustle plays and energy brought by Wright, Amir Johnson and rookie DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan finished with nine points, nine boards and two blocks in his 18 minutes of play, prompting praise from his coach and teammates. He also attacked the basket from the baseline for a dunk that seemed to awaken the crowd before the Raptors made their push.

Johnson came into the game and brought the same energy that he always does, but was able to do it without fouling, his personal Achilles' heel.

Wright not only guarded Rose down the stretch, he had one of the most memorable plays of the game as the momentum was shifting in Toronto's favor.

With the Raptors trailing 78-77 with 7.9 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Wright sprinted the length of the court, exploding into the air to block John Salmons' shot from behind with two hands. The message he imparted was clear: This victory will not be as easy as it may have appeared.

In the fourth, the Bulls fell apart.

After shooting 47.8 percent through three quarters, Chicago's field goal percentage plummeted to 14.3 percent and were scoreless from the floor over the final 9:21 minutes of the game as the Raptors forced the Bulls into jumpers that would no longer fall.

"There wasn't any room to drive. They made it real clear that they wanted us shooting jump shots," Rose said. "It is real frustrating knowing that we had the game. We started off well, played defense and to have to lose by not making shots towards the end kind of hurt."

Hedo Turkoglu added 11 points for the Raptors while Jose Calderon scored 18 to go with six assists. Overshadowed in the loss was rookie (and DeRozan's former USC teammate) Taj Gibson's career-high 18 points. Rose finished with 14 points and six assists while Luol Deng added 18. Joakim Noah had a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double before fouling out.

When Bosh was asked about his show of emotion at the end of the game, he smiled.

"First I'm happy to get the two points and the rebound. I'm happy to get the lead and I know that people feed off that kind of energy. I just wanted to show something. I think people like it and I like it, too. It's fun."
