Nikola Mirotic scored 24 points, Pau Gasol added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bulls handed the Knicks their franchise-record 60th loss, beating New York, 111-80, Saturday night in Chicago.

A night after tying the team's previous single-season loss mark, the Knicks dropped their seventh straight and 14th in 16 games.

Jimmy Butler scored 18 for Chicago.

The rookie Mirotic had another strong game, finishing five points shy of his career high. Gasol recorded his league-leading 48th double-double as Chicago won for the fifth time in six games.

Gerald Henderson scored 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting, and Mo Williams hit four three-pointers and had 18 points as the Hornets snapped a three-game losing streak.

Marvin Williams chipped in with 17 points for Charlotte (31-41), which moved back within a game of eighth place in the tight Eastern Conference.

Kent Bazemore scored 20 points and Dennis Schroder had 17 points and 11 assists for the Hawks, who sat all five starters one night after clinching the top seed in the East playoffs.

Korver will have to wait another night to pass Mookie Blaylock for third on the Hawks' list for three-pointers made in a season. He has made 199.

The Hornets played without forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who is expected to miss seven to 10 days with a sprained left ankle, according to coach Steve Clifford.
