In the fourth quarter of their game last month in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Hornets torched the Bulls.
History wouldn’t repeat itself Thursday at the United Center.
Every time the Hornets made a run, the Bulls had an answer. A layup from Ayo Dosunmu here, a three-pointer by Nikola Vucevic there and an overall strong response to any threat.
The Bulls sealed their 114-98 victory after Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was sent to the locker room for being assessed back-to-back technical fouls that All-Star forward DeMar DeRozan converted into free throws.
