The Atlanta Hawks suffered a third successive defeat as they fell short of the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, 118-113, at the United Center.
Bogdan Bogdanovic led the Hawks with 22 points with Trae Young’s 30+ points and 10+ assists streak coming to an end as he scored 21 points to go with 13 assists. For the Bulls — without Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic — DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points while Andre Drummond stole the show with 24 points and 25 rebounds.
The Hawks were given a welcome boost of their own with the return of Jalen Johnson to the lineup after missing a month due to hand injury, but De’Andre Hunter (right knee inflammation) remained sidelined, and the Hawks lost Seth Lundy after only a minute into his stint in the first half due to an ankle sprain (his status is yet unknown going forward).
