If you watched the Toronto Raptors take on the Chicago Bulls in a win-or-go-home game Wednesday night, you may have heard a jarring shriek every time the home team stepped to the free throw line.
It was hard to miss, for both fans at Scotiabank Arena and those watching at home, and may have had an impact on the Raps.Toronto shot 18-for-36 from the line and lost the game 109-105 after Chicago overcame a 19-point deficit to advance to the next stage of the play-in tournament.But who was the culprit, whose high-pitched screams reverberated through the arena every time the Raptors shot the ball?“She went viral,” DeRozan said during a press conference that followed the game.
DeRozan revealed his daughter was insistent about coming to Wednesday’s game and recalled when she sat at the baseline when he wore the Raptors red.“I almost said ‘No’ because she’s in school back home. She kept asking, she was just adamant about coming and supporting. And I just said, ‘Alright, you can miss one day of school and come to a game and I’m glad I did. I owe her some money for sure.
If Toronto had won the relatively new NBA play-in game Wednesday night, they would have gone on to face the Miami Heat and another former Raptor in Kyle Lowry.“She gotta go back to school,” he laughed. Diar DeRozan, 9, is seen at the play-in tournament between the Toronto Raptors and the Chicago Bulls on April 12, 2023.
