Did someone call for an encore?
Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan sure knows how to end, and begin, a year unlike anyone else. On Saturday, he became the only player in NBA history with a game-winning buzzer-beater on consecutive days.
His impressive two-game stretch started on Dec. 31 with a one-legged 3-pointer that lifted the Bulls over the Indiana Pacers, 108-106.
It was only the second game-winning buzzer-beater of DeRozan's career and first by a Bulls player since Jimmy Butler in December 2016.
After the game, Pacers All-Star Domantas Sabonis, succinctly summarized DeRozan's buzzer-beater, which was later dubbed the "New Year's Heave" by Zach LaVine on social media.
