Raptors fight past Bulls to end skid

DeMar DeRozan scored 42 points, and the Toronto Raptors ended an 11-game losing streak against the Chicago Bulls by rallying for a wild 122-120 victory in overtime Tuesday night at Toronto.

DeRozan shot 17 for 38 from the field and also had eight assists. Cory Joseph had 19 points for the Raptors, and Serge Ibaka scored 16 before he was ejected for his role in a fight with Robin Lopez during the third quarter.

Jimmy Butler had 37 points for the Bulls, who lost to Toronto for the first time since Dec. 31, 2013.

The fight began after Lopez swatted the ball out of Ibaka’s hand following a Butler threepointer. The two squared off and Lopez swung at Ibaka and missed. Ibaka threw a punch, barely connecting with Lopez’s head. Both were ejected after a long review.

Chicago forward Nikola Mirotic and Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire received offsetting technical fouls after getting into a shoving match following the melee.
