Zach LaVine emerging as the Chicago Bulls go-to clutch player

Zach LaVine is building more and more confidence as the Chicago Bulls guard emerges into the role as their go-to clutch player.

A very key piece in the Jimmy Butler to Minnesota Timberwolves draft-day trade with the Bulls last summer, LaVine is making the plays that clutch players need to make. Monday night’s 105-101 Bulls victory at the United Center provided the latest case of evidence for this finding.

LaVine sealed the Bulls victory on a steal off an inbounds pass for a breakaway eventual game-winning slam with just seconds left.

Monday’s late-game heroics from the high-flying guard are just the latest in a series of clutch antics.
