Zach LaVine finished Sunday’s 108-100 loss to the 76ers with 30 points (10-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and six 3-pointers in 32 minutes.
The five turnovers weren’t great, but for the first time this season, LaVine has scored 30 points or more in consecutive games. If there’s been an issue for the Bulls guard recently, it’s been the lack of defensive production. LaVine had one steal against Philadelphia and has averaged 0.6 per game over the past two weeks. LaVine has never been the most productive defender, but the lack of value in those areas limits his ceiling. Chicago doesn’t play again until Friday against Charlotte, which could be another big offensive day for LaVine.
