Thank you for following the Raptors vs Bulls NBA regular season telecast, keep visiting VAVEL so you don't miss any game as the NBA regular season comes to a close.
The Raptors have a starting quintet with no player under 6-foot-5. When they are locked in defensively, it is extremely difficult to drive on this team and the lack of floor spacing actually makes it impossible to drive on the Raptors.
The Raptors are now 22-15 away from home, a mark surpassed only by the Suns, Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers with less than four weeks remaining in the regular season. This is, frankly, odd for such a collection of young players.
Rookie of the Year candidate Scottie Barnes has had an excellent season in which he has shown an impressive all-around game. Despite being a rookie, Barnes has become an important playmaking center for Toronto's offense.
The Bulls have had trouble getting to the free throw line in recent weeks and we've seen a scenario pop up several times in a game where a player gets contact on the way to the hoop and then complains to the referee before going back on defense.
Scottie does a decent amount of damage from the low post and on the short release, so the Bulls defense will benefit greatly from keeping Barnes, a 31% 3-point shooter, out of the paint.
Thank you for following the NBA regular season game between Raptors vs Bulls, both teams are looking to improve their record heading into the Playoffs as the end of the season is near.
