DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls are on a mission to erase the memory of an embarrassing home opener loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, vowing to play with a renewed sense of urgency. DeRozan's guarantee of a more determined effort in their upcoming matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Friday has not only rallied his teammates but also piqued the interest of fans.

In the aftermath of the disheartening 124-104 loss to the Thunder, DeRozan expressed his deep disappointment, describing it as a disrespect to both the team and their loyal fans. He emphasized that while they may encounter more games where shots aren't falling, their effort should never waver.
