Zach LaVine’s statement after Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks

The Chicago Bulls entered Wednesday night’s game against the New York Knicks with just a 4-7 record on the season. With a very impressive victory, Chicago managed to defeat New York in Madison Square Garden with a final score of 124-123.

Chicago led by as many as 22 points in this game, but a second-half rally by New York flipped the script. With a 46-point lead over Karl-Anthony Towns, New York nearly completed the comeback, but the Bulls held on for their fifth win of the season.

The Bulls were led by Zach LaVine’s 31 points, while the two-time NBA All-Star added eight assists and seven rebounds in the all-around showing.

After the game, LaVine made a statement about his current level of play.

“Pretty sharp,” LaVine said of his offensive game, via KC Johnson of Chicago Sports News. “Let’s keep it that way.”

There has been a lot of trade noise surrounding LaVine since the summer, with most of it focusing on his need to rebuild value if the Bulls have any chance of moving him. Now averaging 23.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists on 54.2 percent shooting and 42.6 percent from three, LaVine should open some eyes around the league.

For now, LaVine is in Chicago, where the Bulls are trying to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.
