Game review

What happened

The Raptors beat the Bulls 135–92 at home. Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes led them with 23 points each. For the Bulls, Matas Buzelis had 17 points and 6 rebounds.

What the model got right

The model gave the Raptors a 75% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (99.1 to 94.4), and they won by 43. Recent form pointed the same way: the Raptors had been winning by 3.3 points a game, the Bulls losing by 7.9. Nic Claxton missed the game for the Bulls, as the preview expected.

What didn't work

Not much went against the model in this one. The Bulls won the rebounding battle 57–51 and still lost.

Why

The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 75%, about 2 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
