After last night's game, VanVleet said that his knee is not responding to rest. While he is pushing through it at the moment, other options may need to be explored — and that presents a major concern for the Raptors. 5 things, from william_lou:

The Raptors were showing signs of fatigue early on, as they weren't able to win the hustle battle in terms of offensive rebounding and creating turnovers, but at least their offensive execution was sharp. That all fell apart midway through the third quarter.

These were all mistakes of fatigue, and once the Raptors got down, they never were able to muster the energy for a comeback. Since the All-Star break, the Raptors have played 15 games with 10 off days in between. Outside of a three-game roadstand that lasted all of four days, and a back-to-back in Los Angeles, the Raptors have literally boarded a flight to a different city every other game.

With all due respect to the Bulls and their performance, this was simply a scheduled loss for the Raptors.The Bulls adjusted their coverages in the second half to bring increased pressure against Pascal Siakam, who had 16 points in the first half. Siakam found very few chances to play one-on-one, and took just three shots after halftime although he did get to the foul line.
