Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan scored 20 of his 46 points Friday night at the foul line against an elite Celtics defense.
DeRozan’s scoring explosion followed two rare off nights for him, including a nine-point outing in Wednesday’s victory over the Charlotte Hornets that marked his lowest output as a Bull.
Still, the 22 free-throw attempts fell five short of Michael Jordan’s franchise record set on Feb. 26, 1987. They placed him in a tie for seventh all-time in franchise history with Jimmy Butler, Kirk Hinrich and Jordan, who shot 22 free throws multiple times.On the one hand, it seems amazing that so many defenders still bite on DeRozan’s pump fake. On the other, it’s really not since DeRozan stands a legitimate 6-foot-6 with a high release on his dead-eye jumper.
“It’s hard because when you’re a defender and you say, ‘Stay down on your feet.’ And every single time he keeps going up and shooting over you, which he does do uncontested, he’s elite at that. So you feel like you have to contest,” Donovan said. “And sometimes you think he’s going to go up and you want to get a hand up and you leave your feet. And he’s smart enough to understand when to shot fake and not to shot fake. He’s been doing it a long time.
