DeMar DeRozan Makes NBA History With Back-to-Back Buzzer-Beaters

A historic weekend for DeMar DeRozan welcomed the new year in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls — now winners of seven straight — have ascended atop the Eastern Conference after DeRozan’s pair of game-winning buzzer-beaters on back-to-back nights. He stunned the Pacers on Friday (108-106) with a one-legged 3 before another dagger against the Wizards on Saturday (120-119). It’s the first time in NBA history that a player has hit back-to-back buzzer-beaters on consecutive nights. DeRozan poured in 28 points in both games, and Chicago now owns the East.
