Playing in his home state, Coby White scored 27 points and the Chicago Bulls recovered after a shaky late stretch to defeat the host Charlotte Hornets 119-112 in overtime Monday night.

Chicago scored the first eight points of overtime, with two baskets by Nikola Vucevic.

Andre Drummond supplied 21 points and 15 rebounds and Vucevic also finished with 21 points. DeMar DeRozan added 18 points, though Zach LaVine, in just his second game following a 17-game absence, was held to nine points in 35 minutes off the bench.
