Bulls blank Pelicans for second-straight blowout preseason win

Lonzo Ball scored 19 points against his former team as the Bulls cruised to a 121-85 victory.

The Chicago Bulls won their second-straight exhibition game by 36 points, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 121-85 in the United Center on Friday night. Zach LaVine paced the Bulls with 21 points. Former Pelican Lonzo Ball scored 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from downtown. Next, the Bulls travel to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers in more preseason action on Sunday night.

Perhaps the greatest coach of all time would see one of his players on the court hesitating and looking toward him on the bench.
