After having lost five straight games in Atlanta, Chicago finally took a game from the Hawks in Philips Arena. The Bulls walloped the Hawks, 113-97. Chicago has now won four of their last five contests and is 5-5 in January. Nobody played more than 32 minutes in the blowout, which the Bulls led wire-to-wire.
With the loss, the Hawks slide to 13-32. Along with Orlando and Sacramento, Atlanta is now tied for the worst record in the NBA. Chicago, only five games clear of that record, could still find itself in the mix for the league’s worst record.
