Coby White had another memorable night in his home state, scoring a season-high 35 points as the visiting Chicago Bulls defeated the Charlotte Hornets 117-110 on Wednesday night.

White, from Goldsboro, N.C., had plenty of help as five of his teammates also scored in double figures, led by Nikola Vucevic with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Ayo Dosunmu had 16 points, DeMar DeRozan posted 15 points, and Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond each had 10 points.

The Bulls have swept three meetings with the Hornets in January, with White the top Chicago scorer in all of those games. The point guard shot 12-for-22 from the field with four 3-point baskets and delivered nine assists on Wednesday.

The Hornets, who lost their fifth consecutive game, completed a 0-4 homestand. This was the first of those results to end in a single-digit margin of defeat.

Miles Bridges connected six 3-point shots on his way to 30 points and 15 rebounds. P.J. Washington pumped in 26 points on 10-for-17 shooting, Brandon Miller finished with 21 points and Nick Richards added 10 points.

All five Chicago starters made at least one 3-pointer. The Bulls shot 51.7 percent overall from the field.

White had consecutive baskets as the Bulls widened their lead to 108-97 with just over five minutes to play.

Chicago scored 31 fourth-quarter points after the Hornets, who have been shoddy defensively, kept the Bulls under 30 in each of the first three quarters.

Drummond racked up six points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter as the Bulls went up 98-92.

Even with 16 total 3-point baskets, the Hornets didn’t have enough to keep up.

The Hornets led 59-57 at halftime prior to a back-and-forth third quarter.

The Bulls were without forward Dalen Terry, who suffered an ankle sprain a night earlier. Charlotte played without point guard LaMelo Ball because of a right ankle injury.

Chicago posted an 8-7 record in January, including those three victories against the Hornets.
