Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine was a man on a mission in their game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Not only did LaVine score 49 points, but he also drilled the game-winning 3-pointer to give the Bulls a much-needed victory against their fellow Eastern Conference franchise. Indeed, it is one of the best individual outings in his professional career.

After the game, his former Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Karl-Anthony Towns gave him the highest of praises.

Retired NBA journeyman Quentin Richardson pointed out another reason why this game is a monumental game in LaVine's career.

Washington Wizards point guard and beloved Boston figure Isaiah Thomas felt shivers up and down his spine after watching how LaVine ended the game.

Caron Butler, who has seen many incredible clutch players during his day, was also rendered speechless.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul was taken aback by what he saw that he temporarily forgot how to spell the Bulls guard's name!

He immediately corrected himself, thankfully.

The Bulls are headed to another disappointing season, but LaVine cannot be blamed for the team's shortcomings. After all, he is leading the team with his 19.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season.

LaVine is not getting any help from his teammates, especially with Lauri Markkanen and Coby White still struggling.

Hopefully, the Bulls' recent win will spark a turnaround for the team.
