In short, he played like a star.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the question in NBA circles remains \u2014 was this a breakout stretch, or just a hot streak?<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls seem to believe it\u2019s the former.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0Lonzo Ball\u00a0still working his way back, and\u00a0Coby White\u00a0continuing his own rise.
