DeMar DeRozan made history and your Chicago Bulls nabbed their fifth straight win tonight, besting the visiting Sacramento Kings 125-118. Tonight marked Chicago’s last game ahead of the weeklong All-Star break.
The Bulls, despite several backcourt injuries and the one key front court absence, manage to hold on against Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox, and the rest of a frisky Kings team hellbent on grabbing the West’s tenth seed.
All-Star forward DeMar DeRozan carved out his own spot in history tonight with another insane midrange-centric masterpiece. DeRozan scored 38 points, with a lot of his typical pump-fakes, crossovers and pull-up jumpers from his favorite midrange locales, on 16-of-27 shooting from the floor, along with six rebounds and six assists.
