VIDEO: Bulls' Zach LaVine Goes off for 49 Points and Game-Winner One Day After Getting Benched
By Mark Powell
Note to Jim Boylen: do not bench Zach LaVine. Just one day after the Bulls wing stated he disagreed with his coach's decision to bench him in a Chicago loss to the Miami Heat, LaVine took matters into his own hands, scoring 49 points, including 13 three-pointers. His last shot from behind the arc with just seconds remaining gave the Bulls the win.

What. A. Shot.
One day ago Boylen benched Zach LaVine and he responded by dropping 49 on him and the game-winner. An all-time player/coach clapback. https://t.co/AG7aFr2Sfw

Not to be overstated is the tremendous choke job by the Charlotte Hornets, who while up five points with seconds remaining allowed one three-pointer, a Bulls steal, and then a dagger by LaVine on their home floor. Not great!
