The game, which the Raptors played at home against the Bulls, was a must-win for the team to advance to the play-offs.
But they lost in gruelling fashion, most notably missing 18 of 36 free throws, the most misses in an NBA elimination game in over 50 years, for a final score of 109-105 for the Bulls.
Soon after the game, viewers began cutting together clips from the game of Diar letting out a very loud scream each time the Raptors were up for a free throw, appearing to psych the players out.
The clips quickly went viral, with Raptors fans crediting DeRozan’s daughter with the Bulls’ big elimination victory.

But even the Bulls were happy to credit Diar with the win, tweeting about it.
Speaking with the press after the game, DeRozan himself gave his daughter some credit for the win, revealing that he almost left her at home so she wouldn’t miss school.
“I owe her some money,” DeRozan joked. “For sure.”
