DeMar DeRozan to Ayo Dosunmu: “That quarter was because of you”

In Sunday’s win against the Detroit Pistons, Ayo Dosunmu, a third-year guard, provided a crucial boost for the Chicago Bulls.

Despite a slow start in the first quarter where the Bulls trailed by nine points, Dosunmu played a key role in turning the tide during the second period.

His energy and defensive efforts were instrumental in a 22-4 run that shifted the momentum in favor of the Bulls.

“First thing I told him coming out was, ‘That quarter was because of you,’” Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan said.

“The energy he brought, getting out in transition, the layups and getting those steals. I let him know that without him, that quarter would not have happened.”
