Toronto Raptors vs. Chicago Bulls: Live Score and Analysis

Final Score: Toronto Raptors 99, Chicago Bulls 77

A solid defensive showing and terrific ball movement from start to finish helped the Toronto Raptors (9-13) pick up a blowout victory over the Chicago Bulls (9-13) at the United Center on Saturday night.
