LaVine missed the Thunder
Although Ball and Caruso continued to be absent, DeRozan took the Chicago Bulls back on the road to winning streak, winning in a two-game winning streak and stabilizing the third place in the East. In this game, the Bulls continue to sit at home to meet the challenge of the Oklahoma Thunder. The Thunder have been in terrible shape lately, suffering four consecutive defeats in the absence of Alexander and several core players. In such a situation, the Thunder want to beat the Chicago Bulls on the road, and it is difficult to go to the sky.
DeRozan has scored more than 35 points in the last four games and shot more than 55 percent of the way, who was the last player to do that? That's O'Neal 22 years ago, and O'Neill is an inside player, deRozan is an inside player, and from here, you can see how inexplicable DeRozan is today. However, in this game, LaVine was absent due to injury.
The King of The Last Quarter is unreasonable
Probably no one thought that the Bulls, who played at home, actually fell into the disadvantage in the first quarter, although DeRozan got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but the whole team only scored 22 points, in this case, Dort scored 8 points on 3-of-4 shooting, Kiddy also had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and the Thunder scored 29 points in a single quarter, taking a 7-point lead. After returning from the second quarter, the Bulls began to power, DeRozan had 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Vucevic also had 8 points and 5 rebounds, and the Bulls trailed the Thunder by 50-54 at the end of halftime.
In the second half, Vucevic ushered in an outbreak, 7 of 10 shots, all the goals were in the box, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block in the single quarter, completely dominating the inside line, DeRozan also had 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, the Bulls bombed 31 points in a single quarter, and successfully surpassed the Thunder by 1 point into the final quarter. Facing the insoluble DeRozan and the outbreak of Vucevic, the Thunder did not give up, Dort took 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in the last quarter, but encountered the unreasonable king of the last quarter, DeMar DeRozan.
As the king of the final quarter of the season, DeRozan shot 4 of 6 in the final quarter, all of them from the mid-range jumper, with 11 points and 1 assist, and White also hit 2 three-pointers, and finally the Chicago Bulls narrowly defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 106-101 to win three consecutive games.
Vucevic dreamed back to the top
DeRozan is undoubtedly the key to the team's victory, shooting 12 of 24 in the whole game, without a three-point situation, with 38 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, although the record did not continue, but the personal performance is still impeccable. In the absence of Lavin, Vucevic also dreamed back to the peak, 31 points and 15 rebounds on 14-of-25 shooting, I have to say that he is still very strong, but the Bulls have many scoring points, so they have made sacrifices. In this game, Lavin was absent, and Vucevic once again proved himself.
In addition to DeRozan and Vucevic, Kobe White also had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while Daussom had 12 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. The Thunder almost completed the upset, Dort 19 shots 8, three-point 12 shots 5, got 31 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, in time, he will be able to become the key to the Thunder's rebuilding. Kiddy had a triple-double of 11 points, 12 rebounds and 19 assists, and Beziley also had 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
