Pascal Siakam had his share of struggles from the charity stripe during the Toronto Raptors’ play-in clash against the Chicago Bulls, but he wasn’t distracted by DeMar DeRozan’s daughter’s antics.

According to Raptors reporter Michael Grange: “For the record, Siakam — who was 5-of-11 from the free-throw line and missed two free throws with a chance to tie in the final seconds — said he was not aware or distracted by DeMar DeRozan’s daughter Diar, screaming when the Raptors were on the line.”

Siakam scored 32 points in Toronto’s  109-105 loss to the Bulls. He went 5-of-11 from the free-throw line. Coming to Diar DeRozan, the nine-year-old went on a screaming spree, and that surely worked like a charm for the Bulls as the Raptors missed 18 of their free throws. She reportedly screamed 36 times during the game.

The Bulls’ win eliminated Toronto, and the Windy City squad now faces the Miami Heat on Friday as they battle for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.


DeMar DeRozan’s Reaction To His Daughter’s Antics Was Incredulous

The Bulls forward couldn’t believe that it was his daughter who was in the limelight. “She went viral,” DeRozan said after the win. “I kept hearing something during the game. I looked back and I was like, damn, that’s my daughter screaming?”

And for good measure, which is still a bummer to fans. DeRozan said Diar wouldn’t be traveling to watch their game against the Heat. “Nah, she gotta go back to school.”

The Bulls owed their win to Zach LaVine (39 points) and DeRozan (23 points), but when it comes to playing the Miami Heat, they will need to bring their A-game to the occasion. 

Only time will tell if they can indeed make the postseason by beating a side they defeated thrice during the regular season.
