The NBA regular season is a long, treacherous road. On any given night, any team can look like a title contender with flawless shooting, a strong defensive effort, and a few breaks to go their way throughout the night. Some teams have these nights more than others, some teams have nights like the Chicago Bulls had on Tuesday night in Charlotte.
Jeremy Lamb — who just signed a three-year extension to stay with the Hornets — torched the Bulls for 20 points, Charlotte shot 60.9 percent from three-point land, and the Hornets picked up their first victory of the season with a 130-105 mauling of the Bulls on Tuesday.
