MILWAUKEE – Zach LaVine had no idea how the first round playoff series with the defending NBA Champions will end up playing out.
He made that very clear after the 93-86 Game 1 loss to Milwaukee on Sunday night.
What the Bulls guard did feel very good about?
“We let them know that we were here,’’ LaVine said confidently.
Not a feeling they gave the Bucks throughout most of this regular season in getting swept, and not a message they sent to most of the NBA’s elite teams.
But LaVine was holding onto the idea that they withstood a flurry out of the gate in his first ever playoff game, could have let go of the rope like they have so often the last month, but instead were actually in position to win.
