Bulls' Zach LaVine says trust an issue with coach Jim Boylen

Chicago Bulls leading scorer Zach LaVine says he senses a lack of trust from coach Jim Boylen after the guard was temporarily pulled in the first quarter of Friday's loss to the Miami Heat.

"I'm trying my best, I'll say that," LaVine told Yahoo Sports after the 116-108 loss to the Heat. "I'm playing my minutes and trying to do the best I can do. It's tough, especially when you're in a rut. If he doesn't trust me, it's hard to trust someone who doesn't trust you."

Boylen had removed LaVine midway through the first quarter after the Bulls fell behind 13-0.
