Banged up and tired, carrying the weight of their longest losing streak in more than a full NBA season, the Toronto Raptors got the perfect tonic in Chicago on Saturday night in an equally injured and far less skilled team in the Bulls.
Fred VanVleet, coming off one of his worst games as a Raptor, had a season-high 18 points and Toronto took control from the opening tip to register a ridiculously easy 122-83 win and end a three-game losing skid.
