NBA Twitter reacts to DeMar DeRozan’s historic performance vs. Kings
Deebo did it again.
In Chicago’s 125-118 victory on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings, All-Star DeMar DeRozan made history.
DeRozan scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists on 16-of-27 shooting from the field, notching his sixth-straight game scoring 35+ points on over 50% shooting, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games in NBA history.
The Bulls won their fifth-straight game despite being without Zach LaVine for the third-straight game. DeRozan has been the one true constant for Chicago this season, playing the best basketball of his career in year-13 and being a legit MVP candidate.
Check out NBA Twitter’s reaction to DeRozan’s historic performance.
