• LaVine wasn't very aggressive scoring the rock but made a point to play solid team defense + find open teammates - recognized mismatches, found both B. Portis & L. Markkanen for key buckets late
• Still finding rhythm as an attacker, discovering balance between playmaker & scorer
• Rebounding & off-ball defense need improvement, though on-ball coverage is better than expected
