NBA Player of the Night Jimmy Butler

The Bulls needed a win desperately and Jimmy Butler came through for his team. Against the Hornets he finished with a season-high 52 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and a block. Butler was 15/24 (62%) from the field and 21/22 (95%) from the free-throw line. He now becomes the 8th player this season to score at least 50 points in a game. Besides Michael Jordan he's the only other player in Bulls history to have more than one 50-point game.
