No 'grudge' for Zach LaVine as Bulls face Knicks again

Each time he breezed by the New York Knicks' bench after scoring Monday night, the Chicago Bulls' Zach LaVine hardly cast a glance at Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.

As Chicago seeks a sweep Wednesday night of its home back-to-back against New York, LaVine says he won't reverse course when it comes to his former coach, who once traded him from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Bulls.

"Me and Thibs are cool," LaVine said. "Playing against old coaches, I'm going out there to win. It's not a grudge thing for me. My grudge game was the first time we played against the Timberwolves.
