Injuries have plagued Chicago , and it has been Mirotic 's play that has allowed the Bulls to continue winning regardless . Mike Dunleavy scored 21 points on 8 - of - 13 shooting in 29 minutes and has also stepped up his game as of late , scoring 42 points in his last two outings . Joakim Noah was just two points shy of a triple - double , recording eight points on 4 - of - 7 shooting , 14 assists and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes . Paul Gasol put up 11 points , nine rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes , while Aaron Brooks had 11 points , six rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes .

DeMar Derozan lead the way for the Raptors in the losing effort , recording 27 points on 8 - of - 14 shooting , seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes . Unfortunately for Toronto , the rest of the team was unable to contribute much more , as Greivis Vasquez served as the only other starter who scored in double figures , putting up 11 points , six assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes . Vasquez got the start after Kyle Lowry was ruled out prior to the game with a back injury . Patrick Patterson scored a solid 17 points on 7 - of - 11 shooting in 25 minutes off the bench , but as a team , the Raptors shot a poor 38 percent from the field . The loss moves them back into fourth place in the East , where they hold just a half - game lead over the Wizards for fifth . Up next , the Bulls will travel to Detroit Saturday to take on the Pistons , while Toronto will play the Knicks at home on Sunday .
