WASHINGTON — DeMar DeRozan made a statement on opening night — he isn’t going anywhere.
The Chicago Bulls star scored 37 points Wednesday, leading his team to a statement win over the Miami Heat to quiet the first wave of questions facing the Bulls and DeRozan this season.
DeRozan is used to the chatter. It seems to swarm ahead of every season — this is the year DeRozan will run out of gas, out of options, out of buzzer-beating shots and fourth-quarter heroics.
