Bulls soar past Hornets
Defense key in rout of New Orleans
Bulls 93 Hornets 69

Derrick Rose throws down two on the Hornets Wednesday night.

For the second straight night, Bulls took advantage of another team adjusting to new pieces. This offseason the New Orleans Hornets made a blockbuster trade sending Chris Paul to the Clips and received Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and some draft picks. It was apparent early on that their chemistry wasn't there yet. Bulls outscored the Hornets 28-12 in the first quarter. That hole was enough for the defensive minded Thibodeau and company.

Joakim Noah looks primed to finally have an all star year.

"Jo set the tone early defensively. I think he picked up about 3 or 4 blocks in the first quarter. We were able to get stops early and turn them into points" Thibodeau said about Joakim Noah's play. The center from Florida recorded 6 blocks along with 15 points and 10 boards. Noah was key in building the large lead. The defense by Noah and the Bulls led to fast break points.

All five starters scored in double figures. Derrick Rose led the surge with 22 points and nine assists. Carlos Boozer played well and chipped in 19 points. Luol Deng scored 12 and Rip Hamilton had 11. As a team they shot excellent going 41-68 for 60% from the floor.

Chicago Bulls (1-0) at New Orleans Hornets (0-0)
