LaVine comes up clutch to hold off Denver, Bulls improve to 11-5

When I was a kid, it was the Fabulous Kangaroos, who basically invented the tag team, and Dick the Bruiser and the Crusher. Later the most fearsome partners were guys like the Hart Foundation and the Road Warrior and the Legion of Doom.

And now it's Zowie Zach and DeMar the Destroyer.

As they did it again Friday, LaVine with 12 consecutive Bulls points starting with a three after the Denver Nuggets reduced a double digit Bulls fourth quarter lead to four with about five minutes left in the game. Then LaVine handed off the scoring baton to DeRozan, who mashed his way to eight consecutive free throws in the last 75 seconds to enable the Bulls to pin a 114-108 defeat on Denver.
