Zach LaVine was the first stone to roll.
Not usually his forte, but the Bulls guard and his teammates were desperate.
Following LaVine’s steal to start the fourth, it was Chandler Hutchison’s turn. By the time Lauri Markkanen joined the thievery party 22 seconds later, that first stone was turning into a full-blown rock slide.
Another Hutchison steal, another LaVine steal, and just like that a 15-point summit was reduced to a four-point hill to traverse.
Done all in less than five minutes.
“Played the numbers game,’’ guard Kris Dunn said of the improbable fourth-quarter comeback in Saturday’s win over the Cavaliers.
