That’s not much of a statement, but at this point we’ll take it.
I’d almost say the offense looked crisp, but the Hornets aren’t exactly world beaters so I won’t get ahead of myself.
First quarter
The Bulls started this game with a basket! Denzel Valentine went backdoor and Robin Lopez found him for a nice layup to start the game. Chicago scored 26 points in the first quarter, breaking a two game streak of only managing 16 points in the first.
Justin Holiday – here for all the shots- scored nine points on 3-for-5 shooting and Robin Lopez absolutely stifled Dwight Howard on the defensive end.
