Zach LaVine: “After looking at it, I should’ve thrown it to Vooch. He’s wide open. It was a bad read on my part… I’m more confident than anybody to be able to make that shot, just if you’re gonna take it, make it. If not, I gotta find Vooch. I wish I was able to re-do it.” pic.twitter.com/65wejfJE6O11:40 PM

Vucevic on being open for 3 as LaVine took open midrange late: “I don’t think he saw me. It was a solid shot by him. It just didn’t go in. I didn’t want to yell because he was going into the shot and I didn’t want to disturb him. It happened fast. He didn’t miss me on purpose.” – 11:23 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Having Zach LaVine in and out of practices and games hasn’t been easy on anyone. It definitely isn’t helping team chemistry on the court early in games. But DeMar DeRozan hopes there’s a long game in this, and a pay off.
