DeMar DeRozan’s offensive inefficiency is not news anymore to anyone following the 2016 NBA playoffs. A quick glance at his stats will show you just that. Paul George’s incredible defensive performance in round one was a big reason in slowing down DeMar. However, his continued struggles in round two are related to what he is doing or not doing, rather than the defense played against him.
Through three games against the Miami Heat, DeRozan is shooting an anemic 38.1% from the floor. Toronto has been able to overcome this to take a 2-1 lead in the series in part because of their success on the offensive glass.
