“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

DeMar DeRozan puts up a huge 38-point performance, as the Bulls manage to defeat the Thunder in a come-from-the-back 106-101 win.

Another Chicago Bulls game, and another stellar performance by DeMar DeRozan. Recording 38 points in the Bulls’ 5-point win over the OKC, Deebo records 35+ points in 5 straight games. And for the first time in his career, the 6-foot-6 guard puts up 6 consecutive 30+ point games.

“There’s always room for some type of improvement”: DeMar DeRozan

Over the past 6 games, the All-Star starter has been putting up a staggering 37.2/6/5.5. However, despite his impeccable form, the former USC Trojan humbly spoke about always improving some or the other aspect of his game. After the OKC-Bulls clash, the 32-year-old said:

“Just because I have a good game, I always look at all the negative things that happened, things I could’ve did better. There hasn’t been a game where I walked away from it saying, ‘I did everything perfect.’ There’s always room for some type of improvement.”

The Bulls will be playing the ailing San Antonion Spurs and Sacramento Kings as their next 2 matchups. DeRozan could comfortably continue his 30-point streak before the All-Star break.
