Zach LaVine has seen his fair share of adversity. In his first three NBA seasons in Minnesota, the Timberwolves logged a 76-170 record. In roughly two-and-a-half with the Bulls, the team is just 68-152. That’s 144-322 overall.
“I’ve done a lot of losing my whole career,” LaVine said, with a note of dry lightheartedness, after the latest defeat — a 103-93 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets that kicked off a gauntlet of a post-All-Star break slate for the Bulls. “I've been frustrated from the get-go, so I want that to change.”
None of the above is intended as a knock on LaVine.
