Matas Buzelis was sitting back in the chair by his locker, defending the fact that he has not hit the “rookie wall.”
“I saw you sleeping in your chair before the game,” Bulls teammate Coby White fired back with a laugh late Monday night. “You were out, bro.”
A few minutes later, and just a few feet from where the White-Buzelis debate took place, there was two-time All-Star Zach LaVine, defending the current shooting slump of White.
“There’s ups and downs throughout an NBA season,” LaVine said. “We’ll all be OK.”
Who said the Bulls don’t defend well?
