The Hornets went 2:30 without scoring a point
before going on a 12-2 rally. The Bulls answered with a 17-6 run
that extended into the fourth quarter, swelling their lead to as
many as 22 points.
The runs gave Chicago enough cushion to hold Charlotte at bay
through the final period. The Bulls defense held the Hornets to
just 39-of-90 (43.3 percent) shooting from the floor overall and
10-of-37 (27 percent) from beyond the 3-point arc.
Chicago went only 38 of 90 (42.2 percent) from the floor, but a
12 of 25 (48 percent) performance shooting from long range
helped make the difference for the Bulls. Coby White led the
way, hitting 3 of 7 from 3-point distance en route to 19 points.
White also grabbed nine rebounds and dished five assists.
Vucevic went 2 of 3 behind the 3-point line, and Ayo Dosunmu and
Torrey Craig each made two 3-pointers coming off the bench.
Dosunmu finished with eight points, and Craig added six. Alex
Caruso scored 12 points, hauled in six rebounds and blocked two
shots.
The win extended Chicago's first winning streak of the season
and closed out a 3-for-3 homestand before the Bulls play five of
their next six on the road.
Gordon Hayward led Charlotte with 27 points. Terry Rozier added
25 points in the losing effort despite shooting just 1 of 11
from 3-point range.
Miles Bridges finished with 16 points and eight rebounds,
Brandon Miller notched 12 points, and Nick Richards grabbed a
team-high 11 rebounds.
