Field Level Media

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine scored 23 points apiece and the Chicago Bulls were in control for most of the game in a 121-91 romp past the host Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.

Nikola Vucevic provided 21 points and eight rebounds, shooting 9-for-14 overall to contribute to the Bulls' 51.1-percent shooting from the field.

Chicago's Patrick Williams poured in 15 points in a return to his hometown, Coby White added 11 points and Alex Caruso had 10 points in 21 minutes as he continues to deal with a foot ailment.

The Bulls, who had center Andre Drummond (six points, 11 rebounds) back after he missed time for personal reasons, used a 25-7 run across the first 7:40 of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
