The Bulls have been in a funk since the All-Star break, and LaVine, who missed games around that time with knee discomfort, has talked about playing more aggressively as the Bulls floundered. Did he sense it was his time to take over in the third? Well, he wouldn’t quite go that far. Scoring 14 points in five minutes isn’t exactly an out-of-body experience for a professional bucket-getter. But it was clear his approach changed at that moment from earlier in the game when he was more focused on setting up teammates. “Reading the game, trying to be aggressive there,” said LaVine, who scored 26 points on 9-of-18 shooting. “Just reading the game and going from there.”
