Thad Young, not Zach LaVine, should be the closer

The Bulls, especially when healthy, has performed better than their record. They’ve lost two games on bad calls (confirmed on the NBA’s L2M report), a third on a highly questionable jump ball, and overall have an awful 2-9 record in close games that should come down to 50/50 situations.

The results should be that random, but a familiar pattern often emerges in these close games down the stretch: Chicago will make a furious run, Zach LaVine will dominate down the stretch, the Bulls will get to a final possession, the whole world knows Zach will get the ball and take the shot, Zach fails to close out the game.
