DeMar DeRozan scored 37 points while extending an NBA-record streak and the Eastern Conference-leading Chicago Bulls squeezed by the Atlanta Hawks 112-108 on Thursday night.
DeRozan pushed his league mark of scoring at least 35 points while shooting 50% or better to eight consecutive games. The five-time All-Star made 15 of 21 shots and had five points in the final minute, helping the Bulls pull out their sixth straight victory.
Zach LaVine scored 20 points after missing the final three games prior to the All-Star break because of his ailing left knee. The high-flying guard had platelet-rich plasma therapy, a cortisone injection and fluid drained in Los Angeles last week, hoping the treatment will help him get through the remainder of the season.
Bogdan Bogdanovic led Atlanta with a season-high 27 points. Danilo Gallinari scored 26 points. Trae Young added 14 points and 10 assists. Clint Capela finished with 14 points and 17 rebounds. DeRozan then hit a pull-up jumper. Ayo Dosunmu blocked Young’s driving layup as the crowd chanted "De-fense! De-fense!"
