Antonio it's too bad for them the Warriors still have a three-game lead for that No. 1 spot in the West.The Bulls, meanwhile, put up a valiant effort without Jimmy Butler. They hit 11-of-22 from deep to stay in the game as Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol did their best with 21 points apiece.
They were within four with 6:30 left in the game, but then the Spurs bolted to a 13-point lead over the next 4:30. The loss dropped the Bulls to 32-31, a half-game behind the Detroit Pistons for the eighth playoff spot in the East.Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are one of the best duos in the leagueThe Raptors one-two punch might not be quite as good Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook or the Stephen Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green trio in Oakland, but Lowry and DeRozan should have the Cleveland Cavaliers nervous in the East.
Against the Hawks, DeRozan had 30 pints on 11-of-20 shooting and got to the line nine times. He is a non-stop attacker:Lowry, on the other hand, is the heart of the team. He had a relatively tame 19 points and seven assists, but when a big play is needed he's going to make it.
The Raptors faded after the All-Star Game last season, but that isn't the case this year -- they're 7-3 since the break. At 43-20, a 50-win season is a real possibility. The goal now is making a run in the playoffs. With Lowry and DeRozan it's a real possibility.Play of the nightLebron James makes things look too easy.
This dunk seems like another run-of-the-mill alley-oop off the backboard (because those happen all the time), but he was not expecting to have to jump across the lane and grab the ball with his left hand. It was a pretty bad pass by J.R. Smith, but James dunked it home anyway.4 fun thingsAaron Gordon took his dunking skills to the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay4QNSjxYhU
