Bulls game day

New Orleans Hornets at New Orleans Arena, 7 p.m.
TV: Channel 9
Radio: WMVP 1000-AM
Update: This has been a season of crazy streaks for the Hornets. They started 11-1, then went 10-15 over the next 25 games, then won 10 in a row. After that winning streak ended, they dropped six of seven before rallying to beat Orlando on Friday night. All-star guard Chris Paul is averaging 16.5 points and 9.8 assists. The team’s leading scorer is PF David West (19.0 ppg.). C Emeka Okafor is out with a strained oblique, which moved ex-Bull Aaron Gray into the starting lineup. SF Trevor Ariza has been out with an ankle injury. The Bulls are 4-0 against New Orleans since Derrick Rose joined the team.
