The Chicago Bulls pulled off another important victory on Tuesday as they defeated the Indiana Pacers 113-97. Chicago's new dynamic duo of Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine were dominant yet again for the Bulls, and it resulted in another W for Chicago.
After the game, Vucevic had a couple of things to say about LaVine's game. According to the Bulls newcomer, he thinks Zach can actually take his game to another level:
“I think at times Zach might be a little too unselfish and he can be more aggressive, which I’ve told him,” Vucevic said, via K.C. Johnson of NBCS Chicago.
LaVine has always been a tremendous scorer, and to some extent, he's been criticized for being a one-faceted type of player. He has put this narrative to bed of late, and his first All-Star appearance this year speaks volumes of how he has evolved as a complete player for Chicago.
It was Vucevic, however, who put on an offensive masterpiece for the Bulls on Tuesday. He finished with a game-high 32 points on 14-of-29 shooting to go along with four triples, 17 boards, five assists, and a block.
LaVine wasn't bad himself, logging 19 points, eight rebounds, and six dimes in another all-around performance.
The Bulls are now in the midst of a mini-run after winning their past two games. They took down the mighty Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, and have now just defeated another playoff contender in the East in Indiana. Chicago is still chasing the eighth spot in the conference right now, but if they keep playing like this then they could be on their way to the postseason this term.
