It was arguably the best performance in a Kings uniform thus far for Zach LaVine, who was acquired from the Chicago Bulls shortly before last week's trade deadline. LaVine finished the game with 22 points and helped “light the beam” after the game, alongside new teammates Jake LaRavia and Jonas Valaciunas.

Zach LaVine had a message for fans as he prepared to make his Sacramento Kings debut against the Orlando Magic. He’s passionate.

The Chicago Bulls are in an interesting position as we begin to hit the later stages of the season. The Bulls are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, and they just traded Zach LaVine away.
