TORONTO – Win, or go home — that’s what the Toronto Raptors are up against.
The No. 9 seed Raptors (41-41) host the No. 10 Chicago Bulls (40-42) in the NBA’s Eastern Conference play-in game on Wednesday.
If the Raptors win, they’ll play another do-or-die game against the Heat in Miami on Friday with a chance to make the first round of the NBA playoffs and play top seed Milwaukee.
