The Bulls’ complete dominance over the Hawks this season continued on Saturday, with the Bulls recording their third 20-plus point victory against Atlanta. It pushed their point differential against this lowly opponent to 89 points through these three games.
Capturing the win was a task made simpler given the Hawks were without its best player (Trae Young) and a former Bulls legend (Jabari Parker) through injury. That reality undoubtedly helped the Bulls cement an easy win, one which saw this singular game propel the Bulls from 30th to 27th in offensive rating, and from 9th to 4th in defensive rating.
