Hoffman Estates, Ill. - The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, fell in a close 114-115 loss to the Raptors 905 on Monday night. Windy City guard Javon Freeman-Liberty led the Bulls with 29 points, knocking down five three-pointers (game-high).

With the Bulls leading by six at the start of the fourth quarter, a back-and-forth affair broke loose. Windy City had the lead with less than three seconds left after Miller converted on a driving layup, but fouled 905 guard Tylor Perry on a three-point attempt before the buzzer.
