CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Zach LaVine’s offensive rhythm will return. Give it time. It always does. Missing more than a month with a sore right foot is going to lead to some stagnant moments, and Bulls coach Billy Donovan wasn’t overly concerned with his All-Star guard’s nine points off the bench Monday.
In fact, he was impressed — with LaVine’s defense. Yes, both of his games back have been against the lowly Hornets (8-26), including a 119-112 overtime victory Monday, but LaVine’s performance speaks volumes about where he is physically and mentally.
