Bulls (13-8), Pelicans (6-17)
CHICAGO – New Orleans led for the vast majority of Saturday’s interconference matchup vs. Chicago, but the Bulls held the upper hand late to come from behind and prevail in the United Center. The Pelicans started quickly and were in front after each of the first three periods, but went cold down the stretch and were outscored 34-24 in the fourth.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
New Orleans dribbled precious seconds off the clock, before misfiring on a three-pointer from the left wing, just before the buzzer sounded. The Pelicans were thwarted in their first game of a season-long, five-game road trip.
