The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Chicago Bulls 115 - 107 at Phillips Arena on Wednesday. The Hawks (6 - 2) had their full starting lineup back on Wednesday after Kyle Korver (personal) missed their victory over the undefeated Cavaliers on Tuesday. However, it was not the starters that carried this Atlanta team to their third straight victory. Rather, it was the excellent play of their bench that held off the reeling Bulls. Of the five players that saw time off the bench for the Hawks, four of them scored in double figures with Thabo Sefolosha's season - high 20 points leading not just the reserves, but the entire team. As a unit, the reserves scored 54 of the team's 115 points. For the starters, the frontcourt consisting of Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard each had a double - double and combined to record 34 points and 21 rebounds. The Bulls (4 - 4), on the other hand, have now lost four of their last five games after starting the season 30. On Wednesday, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade absolutely torched the Hawks. Their Chicago teammates, however, did not. Butler finished with a game - high 39 points, seven assists, four rebounds and six steals, while Wade scored 25 points managed five steals of his own. So, while Butler and Wade combined the score 64, the rest of the team managed to score a lowly 43 points with the next highest scoring total being Taj Gibson's 43. And despite the hot shooting nights form Butler and Wade, the team still managed to shoot just 45 percent from the field. Up next, the Hawks will stay home to take on the 76ers on Saturday, while the Bulls look to get back on track against the Heat on Thursday.
