BULLS GET DESTROYED 135-92 | Opening Night REALITY CHECK Hits HARD | LIVE POSTGAME

OPENING NIGHT COULD NOT HAVE GONE MUCH WORSE FOR THE CHICAGO BULLS.

The Bulls were blown out 135-92 by the Toronto Raptors, suffering a stunning 43-point loss in the first regular-season game of the Tiago Splitter era.

Join Haize LIVE on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down what went wrong, what this game exposed about Chicago’s young roster, and which problems can be fixed quickly versus which ones may become larger concerns.

The biggest takeaway is impossible to ignore:

Chicago scored only 92 points while allowing Toronto to hang 135.

Chicago came into the opener wanting to prove three things:

Create good offense against a set defense.

Stop mistakes from multiplying.

Adjust when the opponent exposes something.

Toronto put all three areas under serious pressure tonight.

Now the question becomes whether the Bulls can actually use this film and show meaningful corrections in Game 2.
