Stafford, who had never won a postseason game before beating Arizona in the previous week’s wild-card round, completed 28 of 38 passes without an interception.

“Nothing is changing from what happened the other night to where we are now,” Donovan said. “The best thing we can do as a team is just move on. That’s really the only thing we have control over.

This wasn’t typical for the Bulls, and it was especially abnormal for DeRozan. The three-time All-Star bailed out the Bulls in the final minutes of several close games.
