Zach LaVine frustrated after being benched late in Bulls’ loss: ‘You play a guy like me down the stretch’

CHICAGO — In the waning minutes of the Chicago Bulls’ 108-107 loss to the Orlando Magic on Friday night, Zach LaVine found himself in an unfamiliar place: on the bench, watching his team attempt to finish a comeback at the United Center.

Coach Billy Donovan pulled the two-time All-Star guard — the most expensive player on the roster after signing a five-year, $215 maximum contract this summer. LaVine shot 1 for 14 from the field and finished with four points.

Magic guard Jalen Suggs drained a 3-pointer with 4.1 seconds left, sending the Bulls to their fourth straight defeat.
