Forced to play without six regular starters or rotation players, an undermanned Bulls squad couldn't overcome a 21-point deficit, losing to Charlotte 103-93 in their first game back from the All-Star break.
Well, the Bulls won the third quarter.
Nobody else got hurt.
Thaddeus Young scored a season high 22 points with his second double/double in the last three games.
Did anyone mention the Bulls won the third quarter?
Okay, there weren't that many positives Thursday when the Bulls lost their seventh consecutive game, 103-93 to the Charlotte Hornets. The Bulls at 19-37 with six regulars out injured and only nine players available fell to 11th in the Eastern Conference, now closer to the Cavaliers in last place than the Magic in eighth place.
