It was yet another halftime lead that slipped away in the third quarter leaving the Bulls in what is all too familiar territory.
With 7:15 remaining Sunday in what would be the Bulls 129-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors, Thad Young closing out his best game as a Bull by trying to take a charge may also have closed out his Bulls career. The official signaled the offense foul against surprising Raptors high scorer Terence Davis. Raptors coach Nick Nurse, who will coach the East All-Stars in Chicago later this month, bounced up to challenge the decision. His objection was accepted and Young was dismissed from the game with his sixth foul after scoring a team-high 21 points.
