The Bulls were back home after a 5 game road trip, welcoming a tough opponent in the Clippers with their newly-returned star Paul George. And while the Bulls continued their defensive slide in the second half of the season, another spectacular DeMar Derozan performance got them the victory in a 135-130 score after overtime.
DeRozan finished with an even 50 after a last-second gimme basket, and he had 10 in the overtime period alone. DeRozan also assisted this huge Patrick Williams corner three in the final minute.
That was DeRozan’s 6th assist, and his final numbers also included just 2 turnovers in 43 minutes, shooting 17-26 from the field making both of his three point attempts and going a DeRozan-ian 14-15 from the free throw line.
