Bulls can’t beat the Zion-less Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (8) looks to pass around Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (9) in the second half of Wednesday’s game.

Patrick Williams and the Bulls seemingly caught a break Wednesday.

All 285 pounds of one.

Hours before they took the floor at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and were blown out 124-110, the Pelicans announced that Zion Williamson would miss the game with foot soreness. It sounded like it could be a good night for the Bulls, and even better news for Williams.

Since coming into the league, Williams has faced Williamson three times.
