Bulls fall to Pelicans despite Zach LaVine's 39-point effort

Playing without DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine had one of his best performances of the season but New Orleans scored 40 points in the final period to put away Chicago.

Who knew the Big Easy was not so much the laid back environment of New Orleans, but the ease at which the Pelicans could score against the Bulls.

And so it was again Thursday as the play-in hopeful New Orleans Pelicans blew away the Bulls not only with 40 fourth quarter points in a 126-109 victory, but did so behind the play of a maybe 5-10 undrafted guard on a two-way contract.
