The Toronto Raptors dominated the Chicago Bulls 139–109 on March 18 at the United Center, delivering a 30-point victory that far exceeded the Vegas total of 237.5. R. Barrett led Toronto with 23 points, supported by B. Ingram's 18 points as the Raptors shot 57.1 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers. Toronto's offensive efficiency of 125.8 was built on 33 assists and strong ball movement, while their defense held Chicago to just 47.1 percent shooting and a 101.6 offensive rating. The Raptors controlled the tempo from the second quarter onward, outscoring the Bulls 40–28 in the period and never relinquishing momentum. M. Buzelis paced Chicago with 19 points and R. Dillingham added 15, but the Bulls' 19 turnovers and 13 steals allowed by their defense proved costly. Toronto's 43 rebounds to Chicago's 36 further underscored their dominance on both ends. The Raptors' convincing road win strengthens their playoff positioning and demonstrates their capacity to execute at a high level against Eastern Conference competition.
