SACRAMENTO – As teammates for nearly three seasons with the Chicago Bulls, DeMar DeRozan was witness to some of Zach LaVine’s best games in the NBA. He just hadn’t seen LaVine really get down in a Kings uniform.
Until now.
In his eighth game since being acquired as part of a multi-team trade, LaVine broke loose for a season-high 42 points as Sacramento handed out a 130-88 beatdown to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night at Golden 1 Center.
“I was just waiting. It took long enough,” DeRozan joked as he sat next to LaVine during their postgame press conference.
