Tight contest to finish up the four-game night. Will hit a Space after this one.
Will be talking OKC’s winning streak, the Dubs in a slump, Herro’s eye, LaVine’s big finish, some notes for Matchups tomorrow, and more. – 12:11 AM

Zach LaVine produced one of his patented scoring explosions to help beat the Nets.
That it came as he played a season-high 37 minutes and felt good may be more significant.

After playing a season-high 37 minutes tonight, neither Billy Donovan nor Zach LaVine ruled out playing at home tomorrow vs. the Hornets.
With Boston on Friday making 3 games in 4 nights, it may not happen. But it’s still in play as of now. – 10:50 PM

LaVine on Dosunmu vs. Irving: “He steps up to the challenge all the time. Ayo even in his second year is a vocal leader. He helps pick up our energy, offensively, defensively, just the way he carries himself. In the fourth quarter, he came up with some giant steals.” – 10:45 PM

LaVine: “I felt good a lot of the games. It’s just getting back to a rhythm. Sometimes you just catch a rhythm. That’s all I’m looking to do. It’s my fifth game back. I’m feeling better and better each game. Letting the game come to me. I’m just glad we got the win.” – 10:42 PM

Zach LaVine outscored the Nets 20-19 in the 4th quarter.
This is the 3rd time in his Bulls career he outscored an opposing team in the 4th quarter.
He also did this on Nov. 1, 2021 vs the Celtics and Jan. 18, 2020 vs the Cavaliers. – 10:08 PM

With Zach Lavine having already scored 17 points in the quarter, how are the Nets leaving him open for a three. Leave anyone open but him. He’s outscored the whole Nets team 20-17 in the quarter – 9:50 PM

I’m sure it’s the coaching, has to be because that’s who took the blame — but Zach Lavine has 20 in the fourth quarter and the Nets are still leaving him wide open. – 9:50 PM

With each game the Bulls play, the medical team gets a better idea of how to handle Zach LaVine’s knee management schedule, as well as making sure they protect the guard from himself.

Interesting 1stQ, Durant was quiet while Patrick Williams guarded him, then finished quarter with 14 points.
#Bulls were better defensively but trail Brooklyn 27-25 after one. DeMar-Vuc-Lavine combined 3-14 FG – 8:04 PM
