Ingram leads Raptors past Bulls 123-107


TORONTO – Brandon Ingram celebrated his one-year anniversary with the Toronto Raptors with a 33-point performance in a 123-107 win against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.

Ingram, acquired at the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6, 2025, enjoyed a strong outing on NBA trade deadline day a year later as the Raptors (31-22) won for the second time in three outings at Scotiabank Arena.

Ingram was good for 22 first-half points. It was the fourth time he matched that total in a half this season.

All five Toronto starters scored in double figures. Point guard Immanuel Quickley had 24 points, followed by 17 from rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, 13 from Scottie Barnes and Ja’Kobe Walter’s 12. Sandro Mamukelashvili had 17 points off the bench.
