The Chicago Bulls’ Demar Derozan continued his NBA-record streak for getting at least 35 points while shooting 50 percent or better to eight straight games Thursday night, as the Bulls topped the Atlanta Hawks 112-108.

DeRozan scored 37 points and made 15 of 21 shots, as the NBA returned to play after the All-Star break.

 

Ukrainian Players Condemn Invasion

The NBA’s two Ukrainian players, Alex Len of the Sacramento Kings and Svi Mykhailiuk of the Toronto Raptors released a joint statement Thursday condemning Russia’s invasion of their country.

They said, in part, “A great tragedy befell our dear homeland Ukraine. We categorically condemn the war. . . . Dear fellow Ukrainians, Hold on! Our strength is in unity! We are with you!”

The Kings and Denver Nuggets held a moment of silence and linked arms in a show of solidarity with Len before their game Thursday night.
