Z. LaVine: 16 PTS (6/14), 6! DIMES, 2 BOARDS, 2 TOs

 

• 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
