It didn&#8217;t take long for the Bulls to pull away from the 19-win Hornets as the lead grew to 20 by halftime. Charlotte was never able to get back in it as the Bulls held a comfortable lead for the entire second half, and they went on to win the game 131-117. Nikola Vucevic recorded his 201st double-double since coming to Chicago, and he is now 2nd all-time in Bulls history.<\/p>\n<p>Nikola Vucevic passed Scottie Pippen for 2nd place on the Bulls all-time double-double list. Artis Gilmore is now the only player to record more double-doubles as a Bulls player. Vucevic finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds in the win, and it was his third straight double-double.<\/p>\n<p>Vucevic has been red-hot to start April as he is 3\/3 on recording double-doubles, and he finished with 31 and 22 points in the Bulls&#8217; other two wins this month. Vucevic is a big reason why the Bulls continue to play winning basketball.<\/p>\n<p>If the Bulls are going to make some noise when the postseason rolls around, they will need Vucevic to continue to play at a high level. The Bulls&#8217; big man has lacked consistency at times during his time in Chicago, but he can be a game-changer when he is playing his best basketball.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related Chicago Bulls NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Bulls are in a similar spot right now compared to recent years. This will be the third straight season that the team plays in the play-in tournament, but things feel different this year. The Bulls are playing their best basketball at the right time as they are 12-4 since March 6th. Chicago has climbed over the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings, and if the season ended today, the Bulls would host a play-in game.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a good chance that the Bulls can jump into eighth place before the season ends as they are just a half game back of the Atlanta Hawks. They would be on the road in game one in that scenario, but they would only need one win to secure a playoff spot instead of two. That makes a massive difference.<\/p>\n<p>Up next for Nikola Vucevic and the Bulls is a road matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. There is a good chance that Cleveland has the top seed in the Eastern Conference locked up by then, and if that&#8217;s the case, they will likely rest their starters.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another double-double for Nikola Vucevic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":50606,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[257,43,45,527,1855],"class_list":["post-50601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-charlotte-hornets","tag-chicago-bulls","tag-nba","tag-nikola-vucevic","tag-scottie-pippen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
