With most of the Hornets' primary offensive weapons sitting this one out, the Bulls took more advantage of the lack of defense being played. Charlotte put up a fight in the first, behind solid shooting from deep and nine points by Jusuf Nurkic off the bench.

Coby White scored 37 points, shooting 6 of 8 from 3-point range, Josh Giddey added 23 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists and the Chicago Bulls rolled past the Charlotte Hornets 131-117 on Sunday for their third straight win.
