DeMar DeRozan Scores 21 Points In Losing Effort
5 years agoSan Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in a 117-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. DeRozan shot 47.1 percent from the field after posting back-to-back games under 40 percent. Since arriving in San Antonio, DeRozan has ditched the three-point shot for more mid-range jumpers and finishes at the rim, making him a more efficient scorer. The 30-year-old has topped last year's career-high mark so far, shooting 50.8 percent from the field. The return of Dejounte Murray has capped his playmaking potential, though he still enjoys a 26.4 percent usage rate, highest on the team. DeRozan will look to build upon this performance on Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns, who have allowed the league's seventh-highest field goal percentage.
