Not going to get into the existential Bulls-ness of what this recent string of good play means for the franchise. Let’s instead remark on the small-picture, but perhaps largely-significant change that has been the unleashing of Zach LaVine, shooter.
We already noticed that in the month of December LaVine’s inside finishing has gotten back to his pre-latest-knee-injury levels. It’s not much of a logical leap to suggest that his 3-point shooting has opened up as a result of that (and also a knee injury doesn’t just affect dunking).
But what’s been even more noticeable is that the attempts have been way up.
