Buckets. Buckets. Buckets.
That's what DeMar DeRozan promised a New York Knicks fan.
That's what was on his mind with his Toronto Raptors down one point at MSG with 10.6 seconds remaining with possession.
He ultimately delivered on that promise - nailing a fadeaway over Derrick Rose that gave the visitors a 92-91 victory Monday night.
