Every once in a while an NBA player has a performance so brilliant, it’s referred to as “Jordanesque.”
Cue DeMar DeRozan, who in Monday night’s 120-109 victory against the San Antonio Spurs continued a scoring streak that hasn’t been seen in Chicago since the days of Michael Jordan, putting him on par with the Bulls legend.
DeRozan’s 38-point night against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday marked the first time a Bulls player had five straight games of 35 or more since Jordan accomplished it back in 1996. And DeRozan made it six in a row Monday, scoring 19 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter and shooting 16 of 24 from the field and 8 of 8 from the line.
