Christmas came early for one Bulls fan Wednesday night at the United Center.

Santa Clause — I mean, Bulls injured guard Zach LaVine — delivered a gift to a young Bulls fan during the Bulls’ 112-94 win over the Magic.

LaVine gave Maria Hogan a puppy after her family dog died. Benny the Bull also delivered a wagon full of dog treats and toys.
