The dog was chasing.
That’s about the best analogy DeMar DeRozan could come up with in the wake of the signature win of the Bulls 2022-23 season so far.
Down 11 with just over three minutes left in regulation, DeRozan led a furious comeback, and then a dominant performance in the overtime, to beat the conference-rival Bucks at the United Center on Wednesday night.
Oh by the way, a second win over Milwaukee this season, to go along with two wins each over Boston and Miami, as well as a victory over suddenly red-hot Brooklyn.
So how does a team that’s lost to Orlando, Houston and Oklahoma City have a 7-1 record against the Eastern Conference’s elite?
