Finally: DeRozan scores 42 and Raptors end 11-game losing streak against Bulls
TORONTO — A fist fight and a fierce fourth-quarter comeback.
Sparked by an all-out brawl between Serge Ibaka and Robin Lopez, and shouldering the frustration of 11 straight losses to Chicago, the Toronto Raptors finally beat the Bulls on Tuesday.
DeMar DeRozan poured in 42 points as the Raptors rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat Chicago 122-120 in a wild overtime game, ending a streak of futility that stretched back to Dec. 31 of 2013.
“Piece of cake,” said coach Dwane Casey, joking with reporters.
