Jonas Valanciunas, after being asked about the centers he’s already faced (Embiid, Vucevic, Towns twice): “I’m always looking for the matchups, (against) the big guys. I’m enjoying playing hard. That’s my game. That’s my style. I’m never going to back down from the big matchup.” – 11:40 PM

DeMar DeRozan has done what he did Monday in Toronto many times before. On the same court to boot.
But to author stabilizing, 4th-quarter heroics for his new team is a big reason the Bulls are the East’s only unbeaten team.

Bulls offense was finally starting to cook in that first half. 127.1 offensive rating per @Ben Falk, that’s in the 92nd percentile.
Saw the Bulls taking advantage of Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan’s plus passing ability, hitting a lot of cutters. pic.twitter.com/VFVjfeGrHf – 8:40 PM

Best the Raptors’ offence has looked so far this season (granted, low bar). The problem: turnovers (10), missed opportunities under the rim and in transition, and a step slow on closeouts. Bulls lead 61-51 at the break. Trio of DeMar/Lonzo/Vuc with 35 points. Trent with 12. – 8:38 PM

Maybe the key numbers for #Bulls in 1stH: 14 assists, 3 turnovers. Lonzo going 4-for-6 from 3 doesn’t hurt either. Bulls lead Raptors 61-51 at half – 8:34 PM

Solid first half for the Bulls. DeRozan doing bad things to his old team. Zach LaVine playing the role of max decoy again. He’ll turn it on when he feels it’s foot on the throat time. – 8:32 PM

Bulls began play 30th in 3PA/g (25.7), 25th in 3PM (10.7), but 3rd in 3P% (41.6)
Asked Billy Donovan about this pregame; said he’d like to get more 3s up, but doesn’t want to compromise shot quality
At halftime, Bulls are 7-16 from 3. Lot of good looks. Lonzo leading way at 4-6 – 8:32 PM
