When Demar Derozan made the game winning shot all his teammates started celebrating except one player. The one guy on the team who had the limelight before he arrived in town. Zach Lavine just stood there after Demar Derozan’s game winner, and seemingly looked unhappy.

There’s no doubt it seemed like Zach Lavine really wanted the basketball in that situation, as he appeared to be calling for it. Had DeMar Derozan missed that shot the conversations might have been around how he lost track of shot clock, and forced up a bad shot (Paul George voice).
However, what took place was a definitive statement that this Bulls team is DeMar Derozan’s team. It’s possible Zach Lavine isn’t happy about that based on his reaction to the game winning shot. It was like he was thinking “That was supposed to be my moment” in his head.
Overall it wasn’t Demar Derozan’s best night efficiency wise as he finished the game shooting 8-24 for 28 points.
