McDermott's return to Nebraska is a game winner for the Bulls!

Oct 23, 2015 - Lincoln, NE. - The Chicago Bulls' and former Creighton University men's basketball All-American Doug McDermott gave the Pinnacle Bank Arena sellout crowd of 15,297 their money worth when he sank the game winning shot with 3.2 seconds to defeat the Dallas Mavericks 103-102.

This is McDermott's second NBA season with the Bulls and first game played in Nebraska since being picked in 1st round of 2014 draft.

Doug was the main draw for this rare NBA preseason game in Nebraska and he did not disappoint.  McDermott signed autographs for his fans before and after the game.

Seeing current NBA stars on the court such as Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki, Raymod Felton and Charlie Villanueva - Bulls Derrick Rose, Paul Gasol and Kirk Hinrich was exciting for the fans.

McDermott's final stats:  Min: 28:37, FG: 2 FGA: 10, 3P 1 3PA 4, DR: 7, PTS: 5
