As Nikola Vucevic puts up his best night with the Chicago Bulls, 32 points and 17 rebounds, Zach LaVine is more than happy to defer:“If that means me taking a lesser role some nights and my scoring goes down, I’m fine with that”

With Vucevic rolling and LaVine (6 of 18) struggling with his shot, the Bulls ran everything through their new All-Star big man. Thad Young (14 points, seven rebounds and five assists) put up his usual strong showing to go with strong contributions off the bench from Lauri Markkanen (15 points, six rebounds) and Coby White (13 points, six assists).
