Chicago has returned to action doing what it is used to this season: winning. Billy Donovan’s boys, who had not played since December 12 due to a coronavirus outbreak, did so last night against the Lakers to make two things clear: DeMar DeRozan is a huge player and they are a good team.
The All-Star guard was without a doubt the best on the floor. Once the COVID protocols were passed, he left a fantastic performance of 38 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds to lead the Illinois team, who were able to solve the game at the right time, in the last minutes.
Although the Bulls had a couple of advantages that approached 10 points in the first two quarters, the reality is that the game was in a fist until the end; so much so that with four minutes to go the Angelenos won by three points (103-106). It was then that DeRozan showed once again what kind of player he is to sign eight of the last twelve points of his own is to make the victory stay at the United Center.
«It is an honor that they trust you for those moments. I never take it for granted. It’s an adrenaline rush that you can’t mimic, so you try to make the most of it every time you’re put in that position. There is nothing like that. You have to take it with its good part and its bad part, and I am willing to accept both, ”says DeRozan.
Beyond their great display, the Illinois team had a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds from Nikola Vucevic, with 19 points from Lonzo Ball and 17 points and 9 rebounds from Alex Caruso.
