Diar trended rapidly through and after the Play-In Tournament game in Toronto.

During the Bulls-Raptors game, she distracted Toronto by screaming in a high-pitched voice every time Raptors players approached the free-throw line, which seemed to affect their performance as they shot just 50% from the line.

"I've just seen it. She went viral. I have not let it soak in yet," DeRozan said after Wednesday's game. "During the game, somebody missed the free throw and I looked back and was like, 'Damn, that's my daughter screaming.' I was just making sure she was all right."

The Bulls beat the Raptors109-105 on the road and advanced to face Miami Heat on Friday night. However, DeRozan and his team failed to make the NBA Playoffs, suffering a 102-91 loss in the do-or-die game vs. Miami Heat.
