DeMar DeRozan Reveals Status of Bulls’ Secret Weapon for Crucial Game at Miami
Despite dropping 23 points in the Bulls’ crucial play-in tournament win over the Raptors on Wednesday night, DeMar DeRozan’s efforts were completely overshadowed by his daughter’s defensive prowess.
Throughout the game, a high-pitched scream could be heard every time a Toronto player stepped to the free-throw line during the home game. After a while, the source was finally found to be 9-year-old Diar. She went viral for her hilarious contributions and she was extremely effective, holding the Raptors to just 50% (18-for-36) from the charity stripe. Chicago went on to win 109–105.
Naturally, fans would love to see the defensive prodigy in Miami where it’s win or go home for the Bulls, but her father shared that Diar will not be in attendance because she has to go back to school.
The Raptors will travel to Miami to play the Heat for the final playoff spot on Friday with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The winner will be named the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference and will face the top-seeded Bucks in the first round of the postseason.
