The Toronto Raptors faced a tough challenge against the Chicago Bulls, ultimately losing 122-121 at Scotiabank Arena. Coach Darko Rajakovic expressed concerns about the team's energy and transition defense, which the Bulls exploited effectively.

Despite a late-game surge, the Raptors struggled with consistency and defensive lapses. Injuries to key players like Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes compounded their issues. However, Jamal Shead's energy and Gradey Dick's scoring provided some bright spots for the team.
