LOS ANGELES -- Every time Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan has come to play in Los Angeles during his 13-year NBA career, the games have been special for him, but the Bulls' 100-90 victory over the LA Clippers at Staples Center on Sunday carried a bit more weight.
DeRozan, who grew up in Compton, revealed after the game that this was his first time playing in Los Angeles since his father, Frank, died in February after a long illness.
"Every time I came home, it was always an honor," DeRozan said.
