The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Chicago Bulls for a spot in the playoffs in the play-in tournament. A game that seemed to be out of reach for the Bulls quickly changed pace as Chicago rallied back to win the game by a four-point margin. And a huge chunk of credit goes to five-time All-star DeMar DeRozan’s daughter, Diar, who helped her father win the game from the stands and now the Bulls are wondering how to bring her to their next game.

The Chicago Bulls will be facing the Miami Heat to secure the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Heat, who were Charles Barkley?s favorite to win, lost to the Atlanta Hawks for the seventh seed on Wednesday.

Zach LaVine makes a valid confession

The game between the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors got off to a good start for both teams. But it was the Raptors that managed to take an early lead by the end of the second half of the game. With over nine minutes left to play in the third, the Raptors led the Bulls by 19 points. The game seemed to be out of reach for Chicago fans and players, but DeMar DeRozan?s daughter was not willing to give up on her father.

Every time a Raptors player would go shoot a free throw from the line, his daughter would scream at the top of her lungs to make them miss their free throws. Coincidently, the Raptors shot a disappointing 50% from the free-throw line as opposed to their 78.4% season average.

At first, host Malika Andrews asked DeRozan about his daughter?s whereabouts. To that, DeRozan said, ?She?s back in school, I?m trying to be a responsible parent.?

So, when asked about his daughter?s availability for their game against the Miami Heat, teammate Zach LaVine chimed in. LaVine said, ?I think the teacher is going to give her a hall pass for the day,? as the two-time slam-dunk champion confessed to “lobbying around“.

Free throws changed the course of the game

The Chicago Bulls managed to rally behind Zach LaVine?s 39-point performance in order to defeat the Toronto Raptors. Even DeMar DeRozan poured in 23 points in order to help the Bulls over the hump.

But the deciding factor of the game was the poor free throw shooting by the Raptors. The Raptors missed the same amount of free throws that the Bulls made. The Bulls shot 18-22 while the Raptors shot 18-36 from the line.?
