DeMar DeRozan Says 'I Don't Know What the Hell Was Going On' in Bulls' Loss to Bucks
Fresh off another disappointing Game 1 performance, DeMar DeRozan was undeterred by his disappointing outing in the Chicago Bulls' 93-86 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum.
"I don't know what the hell was going on. Probably a week off. But it just wasn't me," DeRozan told reporters after Sunday's game. "All of us, we've just got to get that feel. ... Every shot I took felt good. I guarantee you me, Zach [LaVine] or Vooch [Nikola Vucevic] aren't going to miss that many shots again."
DeRozan finished with 18 points on 6-of-25 shooting, continuing a trend of Game 1 misfires that have marred his playoff career. He's averaged just 18.5 points on 35.7 percent shooting in playoff Game 1s.
The Bulls followed DeRozan's lead against the defending champs, shooting a ghastly 32.3 percent from the floor. DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic shot a combined 21-of-71, and the trio accounted for 74 percent of Chicago's shot attempts on a night in which none of them could buy a bucket.
The Bulls were locked in on the other end of the floor, holding Milwaukee to 40.5 percent shooting. The Bucks didn't score more than 23 points in a quarter after opening with a 34-point first.
It's unlikely the shooting woes will carry over for either side heading into Game 2, but the Bulls have to feel like they let a winnable game slip away Sunday.
