Preseason Game #6: Charlotte Hornets(3-2) vs. Chicago Bulls(3-2)

United Center, Chicago

Tip-off: 8:00 p.m.

Radio: WFNZ-AM(610 The Fan)

Tonight in Chicago, the Charlotte Hornets will square off against the Chicago Bulls in the 6th game of the preseason slate for both teams.  The Hornets are coming off a 96-86 win over the Wizards on Friday night in Washington behind a 20-point performance from Al Jefferson in the win for Charlotte, while the Bulls enter this game with a 85-84 win over the Atlanta Hawks back on Thursday night at home on a buzzer-beater from Jimmy Butler.


Scouting the Hornets

With 3 games remaining in their preseason schedule, the Charlotte Hornets have been starting to develop a game plan that would carry them well into next Wednesday's inaugural game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Time Warner Cable Arena.  Charlotte bounced back from a tough loss at the hands of the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday morning with a 96-86 win over the Wizards on Friday night in Washington, behind Al Jefferson's 20 point performance to give the Hornets a 3-2 record so far on the preseason, and they look to have a good game tonight, as they visit the "Windy City" to square off against the Bulls at the United Center.


Scouting the Bulls

Just like the Hornets, Chicago is also 3-2 on the preseason slate, coming off a dramatic win back on Thursday night at the United Center, when Jimmy Butler's buzzer-beater gave the Bulls a 85-84 win over the Atlanta Hawks.  Chicago is always a tough team to beat each season, and the match-up tonight will be a fun one, as they welcome in Charlotte, their longtime rivals dating back to when current Hornets owner Michael Jordan suited up in a Bulls uniform, to the United Center for this preseason contest as both teams are entering the home stretch in the preseason, as they get ready for the upcoming 2014-15 campaign next week.
