Forgotten aspects of LaVine’s historic night: Tomas Satoransky’s gem
When the Bulls brought in Tomas Satoransky to be their starting point guard, this is the type of game they imagine getting from him on the regular. Sato wasn’t flashy, but he was brilliant and efficient, scoring 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with eight assists, three rebounds, three steals and the best part… zero turnovers!
That’s right! Eight assists, zero turnovers. Not bad for a guy who barely qualifies as a starting point guard in the NBA.
Sato’s best moment of the game came when the Bulls needed him most. Chicago was down by five points with just under 10 seconds left when he caught the ball on the wing, pump-faked and then drilled a three to bring the Bulls within two. That ultimately led to the Coby White steal which led to LaVine’s 13th three of the game — the game-winner. Without Sato, LaVine’s night looks a lot different.
