In the first half Friday night against the Hornets, Zach LaVine — back on the court for the Bulls for the first time since late November — didn’t look like the player he was at the start of the season.
The two-time All-Star guard passed up multiple shots, drove to pass and was active defensively. Toward the end of the half, he started looking for his shot. He ran the floor hard and slammed down a two-handed dunk. Then he took a pass from forward DeMar DeRozan in the right corner and drilled a three-pointer.
