The Chicago Bulls pulled off an incredible fourth-quarter comeback to keep their playoff hopes alive after eliminating the Toronto Raptors in the play-in tournament.
DeMar DeRozan‘s daughter, Dia, had a massive impact on the Bulls, mercilessly taunting Toronto players every time they went to the line. Fans were loving her antics and made multiple memes regarding her ‘performance’.

Diar DeRozan’s presence courtside is going to threaten multiple teams now, with some scouting report tweaks needing to be made.
find it funny someone in every nba team front office is going to have to add Diar to the Bulls scouting reports and reprint them all.

Pascal Siakam ended up missing clutch free throws as fans felt that Diar’s scathing trash-talk distracted the star.
Siakam finessed the refs and DeMar DeRozan's daughter was ready for the moment.

The Raptors shot 50% from the free-throw line on the night, going 18-36 in a game they will feel hard-pressed to lose.

The person who shared the Diar-LBJ photo also believes the Raptors’ players will never forget what Diar DeRozan did to them.
The Raptors players might never recover from what Diar DeRozan just did to them. That scream is gonna haunt them in their sleep. They’ll get horror flashbacks when they’re at home and hear a smoke alarm go off

This was an unlikely moment in the game and brought a smile to the faces of fans around the world.
Can The Bulls Do It Again In Miami?
Most people thought the Toronto Raptors’ squad on paper would be too much for the inconsistent Bulls’ to handle this season. Chicago showed flashes of themselves from last season in this game, with Zach LaVine going nuclear toward the end to ensure the Bulls could advance to a possible first-round rematch against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The only hurdle in their way is the Miami Heat, who fell to an upset loss at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. The story on paper would again reflect the Bulls have a lot of work ahead of them, but basketball is played and decided on the court, so this game will be interesting for all viewers.
If the Bulls’ can implement their fourth-quarter defense from tonight and have LaVine and DeRozan carry their offense, anything can happen.
