Zach LaVine isn’t slowing down anytime soon. His All-Star season continued into the break Wednesday night with a 36 point, eight assist outing.
At this point, it’s hard to be surprised by what LaVine does on the court. He’s improved yet again this season and is the unquestioned leader of the Chicago Bulls.
Not only did he drop 36 points against the Pelicans; he did it on efficient shooting yet again. LaVine shot 12-19 from the field, including 4-8 from behind the arc. His scoring led the team, as did his eight assists.
It’s nothing new for the elite scoring guard. Those expecting him to come back to reality with his play have another thing coming. His scoring increased each month in the first three months of the season, and he’s off to a strong start in the first two games of March.
