“DeMar DeRozan is definitely the Stephen Curry of mid-range shots”: The Bulls All-Star is on track to knock down the most mid-range shots by a non-big in a season since Kobe Bryant in 2006-06

In the Bulls’ 120-109 win over the Spurs, DeMar DeRozan erupts for a 40-point performance as he shoots 66.7% from the field.

DeMar DeRozan continues to put on yet another incredible performance amid his career-best campaign. Scoring-wise, the Bulls superstar has been on a tear, exploding for consecutive 35-point games since 6th February.

Deebo followed his 38-point performance with a better outing. Leading the Bulls to an 11-point lead over the Spurs, the 5-time All-Star put up 40 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, while shooting 16-24 from the field.

His yesterday night’s performance made him the first Bull since the legend Michael Jordan to record 6 straight 35-point games.
