The Chicago Bulls crossed swords with the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena last night and came out victorious with the help of their MVP. However, what’s interesting is that their MVP didn’t play for a single second. Diar DeRozan, daughter of Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, helped the Bulls topple the Raptors with her distractions from the courtside. However, the six-time All-Star gave a disappointing update about his daughter after the win, which, in turn, drew reactions from NBA buffs.

The Bulls won the game against the Raptors with a final score of 109-105. They will now face the Miami Heat on Friday in a do-or-die game with a chance to seal the 8th seed on the line. However, the Bulls will be without one of their biggest assets who helped them get over the line in Toronto.

DeMar DeRozan opens up about his daughter Diar after she contributed to the Bulls’ victory

Whenever the Raptors went to the free-throw line, they were distracted by the piercing screams of Diar. The Raptors could only make 18 free throws as they shot a dreadful 50% from the charity stripe.

The Raptors entered the game with a 78.4 free-throw shooting percentage. However, the free-throw line proved disastrous for them. They had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds when they were down 107-104. However, they missed two of their last three crucial free throws. The Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, on the other hand, hit two free throws in the final seconds to put the game out of reach.

However, the undoubted MVP for the Bulls was Diar. Unfortunately, her father gave a disappointing update regarding her presence for the crucial game in Miami. Tim Reynolds, a notable journalist, revealed the update DeRozan gave about her daughter. He wrote, “DeMar DeRozan says his daughter isn’t coming to Miami. Advantage, Heat.”

This is certainly good news for the Heat, but only time will tell which team between the Bulls and Heat would clinch a playoff spot.

Fans reflect on DeRozan’s revelation about her daughter

NBACentral?re-shared DeRozan’s statements on Twitter and fans expressed their opinions in the comment section of the post. Most of them seemingly gave mixed reactions.

Here are some of the reactions of fans:

A few users expressed that the Bulls guard’s daughter should be present or the Heat would win the game.

Some users were even thankful to god as they thought if his daughter wouldn’t be present, then it would be easier for the Heat to win.

Zach LaVine was undoubtedly the best player on the hardwood last night. The two-time All-Star put on a show at Scotiabank Center as he wrapped up the game with 39 points, six rebounds, and three assists. DeRozan was the second-highest scorer for the Bulls and finished with 23 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.
