From WolstatSun: Raptors season comes to an end with dizzying loss to Bulls in play-in game
The game could have gone either way — as surprising as that would have seemed at halftime — but Raptors legend DeMar DeRozan hit a free throw with 28.7 seconds left to put Chicago up by three and Zach LaVine free throws followed a Siakam slam dunk with 19.7 seconds to go. LaVine finished with 39 points, 17 of them in a third quarter that should have marked the end of the Bulls.
On this night, the atmosphere at Scotiabank Arena was not as buzzy as in past playoff series, but it had more juice than a typical regular-season game. The NBA play-in exists somewhere in between, as the coaches of both teams ended up referring to a bit in their pre-game media availabilities. Billy Donovan, of the Bulls, said while many have likened the play-in to a Game 7 type of contest, since it’s also a win-or-go-home affair, there are differences.
