January 16 - A five-game homestand that started with promise has sputtered for the Chicago Bulls.
Aiming to salvage Friday's finale against the Charlotte Hornets and snap a three-game losing streak, the Bulls will start by looking inward.
"It's right here to define the season. It's going to define the true character of this (locker) room," Chicago's Coby White said. "Are we going to let it spiral and dwindle and keep going downhill? Or take a stand and next game, come out ready to compete?"
Chicago traded shots and points with Sacramento and New Orleans throughout much of the action on Sunday and Tuesday, respectively, before the visitors found the answers down the stretch, winning by a combined 11 points.
