DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 29 points, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 111-100 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
Nikola Vucevic recorded a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls.
The Bulls capitalized on the Hornets' poor shooting, holding them to just 39-of-90 (43.3%) from the floor and 10-of-37 (27%) from beyond the 3-point arc.
The Hornets were short-handed with LaMelo Ball (right ankle sprain) missing his fourth straight game and starting center Mark Williams (back contusion) scratched from the lineup hours before tipoff.
The win extended Chicago's first winning streak of the season and closed out a 3-for-3 homestand before the Bulls play five of their next six on the road.
