Stellar performance not enough DeRozan had 45 points (18-30 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the 76ers. Impact DeRozan's season-high 45 points weren't enough, as Philadelphia's offense -- led by Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris -- was too potent for Chicago to slow down. With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined, the veteran All-Star has finished with at least 30 points, seven assists, five rebounds and one steal in back-to-back games. He's expected to continue to carry the Bulls as they deal with a plethora of injuries to rotational players, including the lengthy absences of Lonzo Ball (knee), Alex Caruso (wrist) and Patrick Williams (wrist).
