Brandon Ingram poured in 33 points to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 123-107 win over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena. The victory pushed Toronto to 31-22, fifth in the Eastern Conference, and marked its 31st win through 53 games, already surpassing last season’s total.
The forward controlled the offense from the midrange and perimeter, finishing 12-of-20 from the field with six assists as the Canadian club generated efficient half-court looks. Immanuel Quickley added 24 points and five assists, helping maintain scoring pressure whenever Chicago attempted to shift momentum.
Collin Murray-Boyles contributed 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting and anchored the interior with physical defense, while Sandro Mamukelashvili matched him with 17 points off the bench. Toronto shot 56% overall and recorded 35 assists, reflecting strong ball movement against a defense still adjusting after major roster changes.
Scottie Barnes finished with 13 points, seven assists and six rebounds, operating as a secondary playmaker and pushing the pace in transition. Ja’Kobe Walter started in place of injured RJ Barrett and scored 12 points, providing spacing and defensive activity on the wing.
Chicago, playing with several new acquisitions after seven trades before the deadline, stayed competitive early through perimeter shooting. Anfernee Simons scored 22 points in his Bulls debut, while Matas Buzelis added 18 and Guerschon Yabusele posted 15 points and 11 rebounds in his first game with the team.
Jaden Ivey and Jalen Smith each scored 13 points, and Isaac Okoro added 10 as the visitors shot 37% from three-point range. Yuki Kawamura matched his career high with seven assists, helping facilitate offense during stretches when the starting guards rested.
The Bulls erased an 11-point deficit to tie the game at 76 midway through the third quarter, but Toronto responded with a decisive 24-12 run to close the period. That surge created separation heading into the fourth and highlighted the Raptors’ ability to generate stops and convert quickly in transition.
Toronto’s defensive rotations limited second-chance opportunities late, while its balanced scoring forced Chicago to defend across multiple positions. The Bulls finished at 45% shooting and committed 15 turnovers, preventing any sustained comeback after the third-quarter run.
The Raptors host Indiana on Sunday looking to build momentum in the playoff race, while Chicago returns home Saturday to face Denver as it continues integrating a retooled roster.
