BRIEF: Did Drake cause a five-second violation in Bulls' win over Raptors?

March 15--Between starring in a Super Bowl commercial, working on a new album and releasing a song with Rihanna, Drake still finds the time to help his hometown Raptors. Apparently, one of his responsibilities as the team's global ambassador included trying to throw the Bulls off their game during their Monday night win.

With 25 seconds left in the game and the Bulls up 106-103, Drake roamed the sideline, stopping to (presumably) talk trash in Justin Holiday's ear as he looked to in-bound the ball. When the referee called a five-second violation on the Bulls, Drake fist-pumped as the arena erupted in cheers.

Despite Drake's best efforts, the Bulls won 109-107. And Doug McDermott, who scored 29 points and has owned the Raptors this season, isn't holding a grudge.
