DeMar DeRozan and Dillon Brooks stole the spotlight from an otherwise eventful game.
On Thursday night, the Chicago Bulls lost their game against the Houston Rockets. As they prepared to take on one of the hottest teams in the NBA, they were riding a two-game winning streak during which they had defeated several bottom-feeding clubs. Sadly, they were overcome by the Rockets.
In the third quarter, Jalen Green stopped DeMar DeRozan, and the Bulls star fouled the rookie Rockets player hard on the opposite end. DeRozan was called for a Flagrant 2 for the foul, and Dillon Brooks approached him right away to start a fight. He was supporting his fellow player.

“Just walking up on me in any type of way,” DeRozan said. “I don’t play the walking up on somebody when their back is turned. Nah, that’s just not a thing we do. I walked away from the situation after the foul. I just felt like it’s an issue walking up on any man from behind.”
DeRozan and Brooks were both taken out of the match.
