Lightning

So, lightning does in fact strike twice. In back-to-back road games Saturday and Sunday, DaMar DeRozan hit a game-winning three with time expiring. Bulls 120 Wizards 119. According to people who are supposed to know such things, that’s never happened before in the NBA. This is sports working at its unexpected best. Just a game lost in all the talk about snow hitting—and mostly missing—Chicago and the bowl matchups and the Bears getting ready to face off against the Giants and…DeRozan. Maybe the shot deflected the storm off its collision course; maybe not. Either way, an athlete accomplished something that lessened the winter gloom, if only for a buzzer-beating second.
