BOSTON — There was a time when it was only Zach LaVine.
At least that’s how it felt on many nights when the old Bulls regime was still running in rebuild mud, and it was sink or swim with No. 8.
No Nikola Vucevic patrolling the middle, no DeMar DeRozan playing hero.
For about 18 minutes Monday, it felt like old times after DeRozan was forced out of the game with an injured right quadriceps, leaving LaVine to finally get back the reins and try to deliver what would’ve been the signature win of the season against the Celtics on the road.
