The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 119 - 114, Wednesday at the United Center. With just over three minutes to go in the final quarter, the Bulls (23 - 24) held a 10 - point lead. At that point, however, something clicked for the Hawks (27 - 19). Over the next two minutes, Atlanta got back - to - back - to - back made threes from Paul Millsap, Dennis Schroeder and Tim Hardaway Jr. to bring them within one before a Schroeder layup gave them the lead for good. In the end, it turned out to be a brilliant team performance from Atlanta, with all five of their starters scoring in double figures. Schroeder led the way with 24 points and nine assists, while Paul Millsap managed to produce 21 points and six rebounds of his own. As a team, as shown by their shooting down the stretch, the Hawks were on fire from behind the arc, hitting an incredible 17 of their 30 attempts from long range (57 percent). As for the Bulls, they received a pair of superstar performances from Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade, but ultimately, it just was n't enough. Butler scored a game - high 40 points in 40 minutes, while Wade added 33 points of his own in 31 minutes, but unfortunately for Chicago, the duo failed to get any help from their teammates. The only other Bulls player to reach double - digit scoring was Doug McDermott, who scored just 10 points in 23 minutes off the bench. And while Butler and Wade combined to shoot an impressive 59 percent from the field, the rest of the team managed to shoot just 35 percent, spoiling the night for Chicago. Up next, the Hawks will head home Friday to take on the Wizards, while the Bulls will stay home Friday to take on the surging Heat.
