Zach LaVine made his return to the Bulls lineup and score game-high 32 points in the game against the Pacers.

Chicago Bulls were on top of the Eastern Conference and looked unstoppable for some time. But then many of their starters missed the games due to the Covid-19 outbreak. As a result, the Bulls lost their position to other competitors.

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine carried the offense for the team, while Vucevic and Caruso were leading at the defensive end for them. The Covid situation unsettled the team combination for some time. Yes, the team got important wins and maintained their position in the top 2 in the East, but the Bulls were not equally ferocious as before.

Zach LaVine’s return gave the Bulls required firepower and the looks ready to challenge for the top spot again. Zach LaVine made his return in a home fixture against Indiana Pacers and managed to score 32 points with 5 three-pointers. His every basket was cheered by the Chicago faithful.

Let us see some of his plays in the match,

Zach LaVine seemed eager to make up for his lost games, as he was very effective with his performance on Sunday night. His accuracy was 67% from the field and 56% from 3 point range. The Bulls won the match 113-105.

The Zach LaVine Returns to the action.

Chicago built a championship contender team by acquiring DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso, and Lonzo Ball in the offseason. All new players played their part well even DeRozan is the leading scorer for the Bulls with 26.8 points per game. But the team remains the “Zach LaVine team”.

Zach LaVine has very identical stats to the team leader DeRozan and is still a fan favorite at Chicago. He is averaging 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game this season. Zach was in isolation due to NBA’s Covid-19 Health and Safety protocols. But his return was an explosive one for the Bulls for sure.

The Bulls are 1.5 games behind leading team Brooklyn Nets. The Bulls will face Atlanta Hawks on Monday.
