The Hawks dropped a heartbreaking close game in a loss that feels symbolic of the team's fall from grace.
Simply put, the Atlanta Hawks should have beat the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
The Hawks cruised to a 13-point lead at the half in the second match of a two-game series against Chicago, who entered the game 2-0 against the Hawks for the season. Atlanta wore their hearts on their sleeves, with three technical fouls issued in the game to show for it.
