DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine each scored 26 points and Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 13 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls beat the Toronto Raptors 113-99 on Monday night.
DeRozan shot 11 for 14 as the Bulls snapped a three-game losing streak and remained in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto hung around until LaVine scored six-straight points to break the game open in the third quarter as the Bulls pieced together a 21-8 run. LaVine scored 14 of his 26 points in the third, going 6 of 8 from the floor in that span.
“We need [LaVine] to be aggressive,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “We need him to play downhill. We need him to take his shots when they’re there. The thing I love about Zach is, one thing people look at, but he generated a lot of offense for us. He made great passes.”
