[Saba Sports News] Following the Chicago Bulls’ 102-97 victory over the Miami Heat, Zach LaVine seemed less than pleased, despite the team’s impressive comeback from a 21-point deficit and ending the Heat’s 7-game winning streak at the United Center in Chicago, IL. LaVine, visibly in a solemn mood, was the first to exit the court while others celebrated. When a Bulls PR staffer attempted to delay him for a postgame interview, LaVine brushed past.
Addressing the media later in the locker room, LaVine, a two-time All-Star, dismissed the incident as a mere “miscommunication” with the PR team, denying any irritation. “It was just a miscommunication between us and our PR team. We’re all good… I’m not upset, I’m glad we won,” LaVine clarified.
Despite the win, LaVine wasn’t in a mood to celebrate, noting the imminent rematch with the Heat in Miami for the second part of their two-game series on Monday. Amid rumors of trade talks due to the Bulls’ lackluster season start, there’s speculation about the team possibly considering a future without their star guard.
