Drake Accused Of Helping Cause A 5 Second Violation During Bulls-Raptors Game

With just 25.8 seconds remaining in the Toronto Raptors’ matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, the Bulls were presented with an inbounds pass situation.

Drake, the Raptors’ Global Ambassador, was sitting court side right next to Bulls’ guard Justin Holiday, who had to inbound the ball within five seconds.

The Toronto born and raised rapper appears to be talking in Holiday’s direction both prior to and during the play.

Regardless of whether or not Drake actually caused it, Holiday failed to inbound the ball or call timeout so the Raptors were given possession down 106-103 with 25 seconds left.

Despite the 6 God’s interference, the Raptors were unable to take the lead. DeMar DeRozan scored on a layup on the possession following the turnover, but that was the closest Toronto would come to victory.

The Raptors fell to 44-21 but remained atop the Atlantic Division and second in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind Cleveland. They will look to get back on track tonight when they travel to Milwaukee when they take on the Bucks at 8PM ET.

With the win, coupled with a loss by Central Division rival Detroit, the Bulls reclaimed the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference and the third spot in the division, owning the tiebreaker with the Pistons.
