DeMar DeRozan just carried the Chicago Bulls to a big win over the Atlanta Hawks. The five-time All-Star sunk a cold-blooded dagger to ice Trae Young and Co. for a final score of 112-108.
DeRozan finished with a game-high 37 points in this one as he logged his ninth consecutive 30-point game. The entire NBA has taken notice of DeMar's scorching hot streak and even Sixers star James Harden had to take to Twitter to send DeRozan his props:
proud of ma dawg @DeMar_DeRozan

DeRozan's 37-point explosion came on 15-of-21 shooting, with six rebounds and three assists. More importantly, the Bulls have now logged their sixth straight win behind DeMar's strong play.
Harden, on the other hand, is set to make his Sixers debut on Friday following his blockbuster trade deadline move from the Brooklyn Nets. Harden's Sixers will host DeRozan and the Bulls on March 7th and it should produce quite a spectacle between two of the greatest scorers this game has ever seen. There will be a few other superstars in the mix too, including MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid. We fully expect fireworks in that one as two of the top teams in the conference battle it out in what could be a preview of this season's Eastern Conference Finals.
