Efficient game from Korver-Horford on Atlanta; Gasol-Butler could not keep up for Chicago. Productive 2H by Rose for Chicago but it is not clear if more offense from Rose really helps the Bulls.

Hornets 80 Pacers 71
Charlotte got 4Q offense from Williams-Henderson and, maybe more valuable, 4Q rebounds from KiddGilchrist-Biyombo. Hornets were without Walker and won with defense. Hibbert contributed little during 4Q for Indiana.
