The Chicago Bulls got 51 combined points from Tony Snell, Aaron Brooks and Bobby Portis in a 104-97 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Yes, a third-year wing that has provided next to nothing this season, a journeyman point guard under six feet tall and a rookie led the Bulls to a key win over an Eastern Conference contender.
That’s the kind of season the Bulls have had through 29 games.
But, that’s the kind of victory that can springboard a team out of a funk and into a good rhythm heading into the new year.
