On Friday evening, the Chicago Bulls were Canada facing off against the Toronto Raptors.  

The Raptors won the game by a score of 121-108, and OG Anunoby led the way with 26 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal while shooting 10/14 from the field and 5/7 from the three-point range. 

DeMar DeRozan, who had 19 points, three rebounds, four assists and one steal, was ejected at the end of the game. 

K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago added more details. 

Via Johnson: "DeRozan just got ejected 

He was hot at the Raptors bench for Siakam taking that 3 when Raptors could've dribbled out clock"

With the loss, the Bulls dropped to 5-12 in their first 17 games, and they are now in the middle of a three-game losing streak. 

They are 1-6 in the seven games they have played on the road and 4-6 in the ten games they have hosted at the United Center. 

Following the Raptors, the Bulls will play their next game against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday evening at Barclays Center in New York. 

DeRozan is in his 15th season in the NBA and his third with the Bulls. 

He has made the All-Star Game in each of the previous two seasons and helped lead the Bulls to the playoffs in 2022. 

However, they are coming off a year where they were the tenth seed in the east with a 40-42 record and missed the playoffs for the fifth time in the previous six seasons.
