Zach LaVine wants to be the closer.
The Bulls guard has never been one to shy away from that.
Heck, he’s even had more than a few instances the past two seasons in which he’s put the cape on come crunch time, and delivered.
Just not enough, and definitely not against the NBA’s upper-echelon teams, considering the Bulls are now 1-13 this season when playing an opponent sitting at .500 or better.
The loss to Utah on Thursday was just the latest crash landing in LaVine’s attempt at hero ball.
Coach Jim Boylen won’t be looking to change that closer role, either.
