DeMar DeRozan rebounds with highest-scoring playoff performance of his career to help Chicago Bulls even series

MILWAUKEE -- After an uncharacteristic poor shooting performance in Game 1 of this first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan made a guarantee that there was no way he would shoot so poorly again.

In the days between Games 1 and 2, he watched film of every shot he missed. After the Bulls' team bus arrived in Milwaukee the night before Game 2, DeRozan returned to Fiserv Forum once again to put up extra shots in an attempt to get back in rhythm.

And then on Wednesday, DeRozan made good on his guarantee, setting a playoff career high with 41 points on 16-for-31 shooting to lead the Bulls to a 114-110 victory to even the series at 1-1.
