Perhaps it wasn’t the prettiest of billings; the 26-51 Chicago Bulls and 33-44 Charlotte Hornets. However, fans who took time to tune in found a not-too-shabby game of basketball, all things considered.
Overall, tonight’s game was very close. The first half of play ended with Chicago ahead at home, 53-47. The trend of the game was a back-and-forth battle between two teams eliminated from playoff contention.
Lauri Markkanen provided an early treat, scoring 10 easy points in the first quarter of play. He’d only play 24 total minutes, much of which came in the first half.
