Bulls Clinch Improbable Overtime Victory Against Raptors with Key Plays from DeRozan, Caruso

Bulls' comeback victory over Raptors marked by sloppy play, numerous turnovers, and clutch overtime three-pointer from Caruso, despite near loss due to missed free throws in the final seconds of regulation.

The Chicago Bulls pulled off a comeback 104-103 overtime victory against the Toronto Raptors, coming back from a 17-point deficit within the final five minutes of regulation.
Despite a high-scoring game, DeMar DeRozan missed several key free throws in the final seconds of regulation, which could have won the game for the Bulls sooner.
The turning point of the game came from Alex Caruso, who scored a clutch three-pointer with 2.3 seconds left in overtime to seal the win for the Bulls.
Caruso's contributions extended beyond the winning shot, delivering an impressive game-stat line with 13 points, 13 rebounds, including six offensive, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
Despite their win, the Bulls' performance was marred by sloppy play and ball-handling issues, leading critics to believe the victory was more due to Raptors' errors, such as 21 turnovers and missing 4 out of 9 free throws in the fourth quarter.
Zach LaVine, although delivering a generally poor performance with only eight points scored, provided a stunning assist that lead to Caruso's game-winning three-pointer.
