Billy Donovan was still working from an unknown.

The Bulls coach insisted that his team had shown resiliency since the All-Star Break, that there had been no let-up in their practice and gameday habits. But then again, it had been quite some time since they were physically and mentally dismantled like they were Monday in a one-sided contest in Oklahoma City.

So yes, Donovan wanted to know what the response would be.

It was what he hoped.

And thanks to the 137-118 win over the hapless Toronto Raptors, the Bulls not only secured a spot in the play-in tournament but pulled to within a half game of idle Miami for the No.
