DeMar DeRozan the Bulls forward dropped 40-points Against the unlucky San Antonio Spurs who fell victim to DeRozan’s scoring streak of scoring more than 30 points in a game consecutively for the last 7 games. This hot streak makes him the new record holder of scoring more than 35 points in consecutive games for the Chicago Bulls, he has done so by bringing the streak up to 7 games. A record that was previously set by the great Michael Jordan in the 1996-97 season.

This is not just another time when the Bulls forward has stepped up to save the Bulls from facing another loss, the Bulls entered the fourth quarter trailing by 6 points to the Spurs, DeRozan had other ideas of his own to impact the game, he scored 13 points of the teams next 15 points, after that it was just a formality to cross the finish line, the Bulls never trailed after that. “Come the fourth quarter, my main priority is to win at any cost, you have to understand the whole game. It is tough to go out there from the jump ball and just be aggressive and try to score. You got to dissect the game. I collect data throughout the game and come the fourth quarter I got it all figured out and the ball is going in the hoop,” said DeRozan.
