The Toronto Raptors season has come to an end after a devastating loss to the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the play-in tournament.

The Raptors were able to secure the ninth seed in the Eastern conference after one of the most competitive seasons the National Basketball League (NBA) has seen in a long time. That put them in the play-in tournament where they would have to win two games in a row if they hoped to advance to the playoffs.

The Raptors were scheduled to face off against the Chicago Bulls in their first game. If they were to win they would face off against the Miami Heat.

The Raptors got out to a great start in their game against the Bulls even leading by twenty points in the first half at some points. However, Demar DeRozans daughter fought back for the Bulls to get them the lead.

Every time the Raptors went to the free throw line Demar DeRozans daughter Diar would scream at the top of her lungs distracting the Raptors team. The Raptors shot 50% from the free throw line which ended up costing them the game. Final score 109-105 for the Bulls.

This was an unfortunate way for the Raptors season to end, especially since the team didn’t really lose to the Bulls, they lost to Diar DeRozan.

The team has some positives to take away from the season but overall changes are needed if they want to decisively make the playoffs next year.
