We’re at the mid-way point of the NBA’s Play-In Tournament, and the road team has collected another win. The visiting No. 10 Chicago Bulls battled back from 19 points and got a huge second half to stun the No. 9 Toronto Raptors, 109-105, and now advance to face the Heat in Miami on Friday for the playoffs’ No. 8 and the right to take on the East’s top-seeded team, the Milwaukee Bucks. The West’s 9-10 game, the Pelicans vs. the Thunder, is occurring now on ESPN. The winner of that game will play the Timberwolves in Minneapolis in Friday’s late game to see which team will face the No. 1 Denver Nuggets.
