The Chicago Bulls are on the road Wednesday night in Charlotte taking on the Hornets as they look to push their record to 12-7 on the season, and in the first half, we found out that Cody Zeller and the Hornets are not just going to lay down for Pau Gasol and the Bulls.
Actually, if anything, Gasol was the one that was almost laying down –literally– courtest of Zeller.
With the first half winding down and the Hornets only down by three, the big man Zeller found himself with the ball across mid-court. Well, Zeller had only one thing on his mind and that was driving straight to the hoop and slamming that bad boy home.
Oh and he did just that, even with Gasol in the way.
Zeller don’t care!
Oh, Pau…Pau, that was just rough, man. Gasol was brought into Chicago this season to help on the defensive end of the court a little bit, and this is not the best example of that.
The Bulls did go into the half with a 45-40 lead, but if Zeller keeps this up, the Hornets might be getting their fifth win on the season.
