Zach LaVine says miscommunication is to blame for him not giving a postgame interview

The Bulls finally had their losing streak snapped recently after winning over the Miami Heat. After the game, however, many noticed that Zach LaVine quickly left the court and didn't take the time to be interviewed on the court.

He later addressed the matter and said that it was due to miscommunication on his part and the PR department:

"Just a miscommunication between us and our PR team," LaVine said. "We're all fine.

"I'm not ticked at all. I'm happy we got a win," LaVine said. "We play these guys in a couple days. You don't want to just sit around and celebrate, I'd rather celebrate in the locker room."

With trade talks quickly taking over, LaVine will likely be pressed with questions regarding his future.
