Absent for three games, Fred VanVleet met Pascal Siakam in the Raptors infirmary, the Cameroonian joining her at least for the next two weeks following an adductor problem.
Against Chicago, the leader in any case recalled all that he brought to Toronto when he was in good shape.
First highlighting his teammates, like Christian Koloko on the pick-and-roll, he punished the Bulls’ defense all evening, using his aggression against them, while being very clean in his ball management.
“We always want to have our playmaker in the five”reacted Christian Koloko. “We need him. He’s one of our best shooters. »
Fred VanVleet finished the game with 30 points (9/22), 5 rebounds, 11 assists and only 1 loose ball. A resounding return that does not surprise DeMar DeRozan, his former teammate in Canada.
“He’s an incredible player, one of the best point guards in this league. I expected no less from him. It is what it is. With his aggressiveness, he changes the dynamics of the game.” concluded the Bulls player.
