A sloppy performance by Toronto cost them this afternoon against Chicago. "You play like that, and you're going to get beaten," said Toronto coach Bob after the game. "Doesn't matter who you're playing - we proved that today." Poor play all afternoon, especially in clutch situations, proved costly for Toronto and negated a solid outing by Mcneal.

Chicago was led by Johnson (14 points, 11 boards, 3 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Delling (8 points, 5 boards, 7 assists, 4 steals), Spann (9 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, a block). Toronto was led by Mcneal (12 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Chavis (17 points, 1 assists), Murray (17 points).

After the victory, Chicago improve to 12-20. They hold at #4 in the Central and remain at #11 overall in the Eastern Conference. Toronto stand at 18-15 and 10-6 at home. They stay at #2 in the Atlantic and remain at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference.
