Coby White stepping up in Zach LaVine absence

Coby White entered halftime of the Bulls' Monday night win at the Boston Celtics with just three points and a 1-for-7 shooting line from the field. Shots weren't falling. And despite a four-to-zero assist-to-turnover ratio, he'd mistakenly eschewed a couple wide-open passing reads, including a notable missed opportunity on a Daniel Theis rim-run midway through the second quarter. During the play in question, Theis and Nikola Vu?evi? positioned themselves to set duplicate drag screens at the top of the key for White, who was pushing up the floor off a missed shot. Knowing the Celtics were on their heels and primed to switch the ball-screen, Theis dove to the basket before his pick made contact with Jaylen Brown -- colloquially known as a "slip."
