Win or go home: Toronto Raptors host Chicago Bulls in NBA play-in tournament

The No. 9 seed Raptors host the No. 10 Chicago Bulls in the NBA's Eastern Conference play-in game on Wednesday.

If the Raptors win, they'll play another do-or-die game against the Heat in Miami on Friday with a chance to make the first round of the NBA playoffs and play top seed Milwaukee.Toronto, led by forward Pascal Siakam and guard Fred VanVleet, finished the season with six wins over its last ten games, but struggled to follow up last season's successful 48-win campaign.

Familiar face DeMar DeRozan will be staring the Raptors down from the other end of the court as Chicago's leading scorer. DeRozan, who averaged the most points this season of anyone set to appear in Wednesday's game with 24.5, played the first nine years of his career in Toronto.

Aren't they home already?

Let's Go Raps!!!

Don’t worry Demar in the playoffs chokes Raps win

We going to break my dude DeRozans heart again tonight

Been watching games since I was 9 when this team was an extension franchise in 1995. I would spend much of my teen years listening to play by play on radio on FAN590 Am I ready ? Yes I am 🙂 WeTheNorth
