The Raptors beat the lowly Bulls to avoid what would have been the first time Toronto had lost three straight at home since 2015.
TORONTO — Norman Powell scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and the Raptors beat the lowly112-103 on Tuesday, avoiding what would have been the first time Toronto had lost three straight at home since 2015.
The Raptors, perhaps due to pure boredom, allowed the Bulls to pull within 10 points on a three-pointer by Antonio Blakeney early in the fourth. But a Powell three-pointer was the punctuation mark on a 14-6 Raptors run that put them up by 18 points midway through the frame. With just seven games left in the regular season, the Raptors are trying to find a good rhythm to ride into the post-season. Nurse was asked if Jusuf Nurkic’s gruesome injury on Monday caused him concern about his star players getting hurt before playoffs.“I didn’t see and on purpose I haven’t tried to watch it,” Nurse said. “I can barely watch a guy twist his ankle. When they show those things and the slow ’em down, I’m like the turn-away guy.
