Zach LaVine on Bulls' 5-13 record: 'We've got to figure out a way to get out of that hole'
Michael Scotto: I asked Zach LaVine if he’s surprised the Chicago Bulls are 5-13, given their talent. “I think it’s just frustrating… It didn’t look and it didn’t feel like we would be at this point right now, but that’s our reality, so we’ve got to figure out a way to get out of that hole.” pic.twitter.com/8kf1RxUBaO

Bulls can’t take advantage of briefly-chilled Nets shooting. Down 96-83 after the third quarter.
DeMar DeRozan scored 9 points and Zach LaVine scored 10 points in the quarter. Rest of the offense combined for nine points. – 9:18 PM

Zach LaVine spent a long time with DeMar DeRozan at the end of practice trying to pick up one of his little shimmy moves that always draws fouls. Fun stuff to watch. pic.twitter.com/5bPMbGtFe4 – 2:35 PM

Zach LaVine lowers his shoulder on Scottie Barnes in transition and picks up an offensive foul.
Billy talked pregame about the little mistakes that kill these Bulls comebacks. That feels like one of them. – 9:47 PM

Raptors lead 93-77 to start the fourth quarter after Siakam’s long two beats horn. Siakam has 11 points and eight assists. Five different Raptors with 11 points or more, while Barnes has 9 points, 8r and 3a. LaVine has 24 for Bulls. – 9:23 PM

Raptors lead 62-48 at half, had led Bulls by as much as 20 at one point. Won’t be needing a big comeback tonight at least. Toronto with 18 assists on 24 FGs, shooting 58.5 per cent. Anunoby with 14. Bulls Zach Lavine with 18. – 8:40 PM

Through 24 mins, Raptors have as many assists as Chicago has FGs (18). Raps are shooting 59%, including 18-for-22 inside the arc. Turnovers (9) and Zach LaVine (18 points, 8-12 FG) are the only things keeping this game competitive (and it’s barely competitive). Raps by 14 at half – 8:39 PM

Bulls trail 62-48 at the half. Went down by as many as 20 points in another slow start.
Zach LaVine is looking back to normal after missing last game. He’s got 18 points on 8-for-12 shooting in the first half. – 8:39 PM

Heat reportedly not pursuing trade for Zach LaVine
It makes sense. The Heat have to ask themselves is LaVine $13 million a season better than Tyler Herro? And LaVine is five years older.

More on this storyline
Zach LaVine left Mikal Bridges wide open when he rotated to provide help that Torrey Craig didn’t need. Nikola Vucevic left Spencer Dinwiddie wide open. LaVine and Dosunmu failed to communicate and rotate properly. “A lot of it is communication. We don’t do a good enough job communicating to each other or honoring the call when somebody calls (coverage),” Vucevic said. “Even if it’s wrong, we have to honor the person who feels that that’s the right call. We have to do a better job of being on the same page.” LaVine said sometimes the overhelping comes from a good place because players are trying to support each other. “We go to the bench and we talk all the time,” LaVine said. “We talk it out. Look at things on film.” -via NBC Sports Chicago / November 27, 2023
