Luol Deng added 22 points and eight rebounds as the Bulls won their seventh straight at home and improved to an NBA-best 15-3 despite the absence of two starters and two key reserves. Richard Hamilton added a season-high 18 points for Chicago.
The Bulls played their fourth straight game without reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose (sprained left big toe). They were also missing starting center Joakim Noah, a late scratch because of a left ankle sprain.
Gerald Henderson Jr. led Charlotte with 22 points, but the Bobcats lost their fifth consecutive road game. They have dropped nine of 10 overall.
