The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, beat the Raptors 905 108-103 Thursday night at NOW Arena for the second win over the 905 in as many nights. Windy City was led by Chicago Bulls Two-Way guard Carlik Jones’ 27 points, six rebounds and six assists.
The 905 held a narrow two-point lead after the opening period, but 19 first-half points from Jones helped the Bulls grab a 51-48 lead entering halftime.
Windy City jumped out a 15-point lead -- its largest of the game -- midway through the third quarter before entering the final 12 minutes ahead by five. The Bulls managed to fend off a late 905 surge to grab a five-point victory.
Bulls forward Aaron Wheeler scored a season-high 17 points while shooting 5-for-8 from three-point territory. Veteran guard Jeremy Pargo chipped in 16 points, five rebounds and eight assists for Windy City.
Toronto Raptors Two-Way guard Ron Harper Jr. led the 905 with 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
With the win, Windy City improved to 10-11 in the regular season, while Raptors 905 fell to 9-10.
Next up, the Bulls host the Westchester Knicks on Sunday, February 26 at NOW Arena. The game is slated to tip-off at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast live on NBA TV.
