When the Bulls entered the locker room at halftime while trailing by 28 points to the Hornets, a home crowd in Chicago booed loudly from the stands of the United Center.
After the franchise went on to drop its fourth consecutive game to a top-10 team in the Eastern Conference, all of which have come as double-digit losses, All-Star guard Zach Lavine admitted that the reaction from the fans was warranted.
“They should,” LaVine said of the boos after Chicago’s 133–117 loss to Charlotte. “It’s embarrassing. We’re a really good basketball team, and we’re not playing like it. They know that. We know that. It’s understandable. We understand that they have our back, but we got to play better.”
