The Bulls messed around for most of the night, refusing to take control of a winnable game Sunday in Atlanta.
The Bulls needed a miracle and got one when Atlanta's Bogdan Bogdanovich lunged at DeMar DeRozan and clearly fouled him across the arm as he attempted a fallaway 3-pointer. DeRozan hit all 3 free throws to put the Bulls ahead by 1. "I feel bad for DJ on the play, just because he played so well and a big part of why we got back in the game," Bulls coach Billy Donovan told reporters after the game."It was just kind of like we switched and back-cut him. kind of lost vision of the ball and I think he probably could have made a play on the ."
At the end of regulation, Jones saved the Bulls by leaping high to grab a missed shot by DeRozan. Jones was fouled and went to the line with 0.4 seconds on the clock. He hit the first free throw to tie the game, missed the second that might have clinched the win, but at least he got the Bulls to overtime.
DeRozan had an impressive stat line with 34 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists. He hit 14 of 15 free throws and landed 2 short of his career-high in rebounds. Dosunmu took a knee to the gut as he fell and stayed on the ground grimacing in pain for a couple minutes before walking to the locker room. The Bulls calling the injury an abdominal contusion.
