The Bulls were down two points with a little over 3 seconds left on the clock. They only needed a two to tie the game, which would’ve been the safer option. However, the team trusted DeRozan’s ability to get the win for them. Despite it being the riskier option, they went for it and have absolutely no regret about it now.

While on the box score Zach LaVine and Bradley Beal ran the show for both the teams, DeRozan stole the spotlight. Even though he had 28 points against his name in the game, his most crucial points came in the last second with the game on the line. That too with Bradley Beal and Corey Kispert doubling up on him in the corner. Indeed it takes some incredible confidence to shoot even when you’re double-teamed.

LaVine and DeRozan combined for 63 points in this game which went down to the wire. Chicago Bulls truly played like a championship contender as even Nikola Vucevic and Coby White contributed 20+ points to this victory. DeRozan did not shoot a three the entire game but still had the nerves to knock down the last shot from beyond the arc. It shows how much the team trusts him to make the right decision.

Chicago fans and NBA fans should be excited to see the prime of this incredible superstar. If the Chicago Bulls maintain this consistency, who is to stop them from winning it all?
