Given the gauntlet of opponents the Chicago Bulls have faced in this stretch right after the All-Star Break, they have to take advantage of games they should win. A victory would have really helped in the standings given the Miami Heat lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. However, thee Bulls couldn’t get it done and suffered a bad 130-124 loss on the road to Atlanta Hawks.
Chicago had a nine point lead late in the game, but bad defense and some great offense from Trae Young did them in during crunch time, ultimately giving up 40 points in the final quarter.
