TORONTO — As the tide turned in the favor of the Chicago Bulls during Wednesday’s 109-105 play-in tournament win over the Toronto Raptors, one constant sound was like a metronome for the game — the well-timed screams of DeMar DeRozan’s 9-year-old daughter, Diar.
From her front-row seat, Diar saw an opportunity and snatched it. She was positioned directly under the basket, almost perfectly in the sight line of every player lining up for a free throw.
A basketball player herself, Diar knew when to time an ear-splitting shriek, hitting an especially shrill note each time a Toronto player launched a foul shot.
