NBA: DeMar DeRozan shows MVP performance in Bulls win over Atlanta

The Chicago Bulls emerged victorious in an exciting game against the Atlanta Hawks. DeMar DeRozan was the standout man for the hosts and was at his best in crunch time, while Trae Young had a miserable evening.

Chicago Bulls (39-21) – Atlanta Hawks (28-31) 112:108 (BOXSCORE)

MVP calls echoed through the United Center – and they were aimed at one man: DeMar DeRozan. Before that, the Bulls superstar sank a midrange jumper about 15 seconds from the end and gave the hosts a 109-108 lead – as so often in his career, DeRozan missed his signature crunch time. To make matters worse for the Hawks, he was fouled on the throw, and the free throw sits.

In the end, DeRozan scored 37 points with an absurdly good efficiency (15/21 FG). Zach LaVine contributed 20 points, five Bulls players scored in the double digits, Vucevic recorded a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds).

Trae Young had a used night (14 points, 3/17 FG) but still had 10 assists. The European faction of the Hawks, on the other hand, delivered, Bogdan Bogdanovic was the best pitcher for the guests (27), closely followed by Danilo Gallinari (26).
