For the first time in too long — maybe weeks, maybe a month — the Chicago Bulls took complete control of a game.
Monday night’s 113-99 win over the Toronto Raptors at the United Center couldn’t have come at a more necessary, even desperate time. After weeks of blowout losses and scattered grind-it-out wins, the Bulls were crumbling in confidence and in the Eastern Conference standings.
But they won Monday in their style on their home court. The victory ended a three-game losing streak, but more importantly, it proved the Bulls’ winning formula from early in the season still has the same bite.
