Hawks unable to plug defensive leaks in loss to Bulls

The Atlanta Hawks suffered a home defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, 136-126.

Bogdan Bogdanovic led the Hawks with 28 points behind a hot night shooting the ball. De’Andre Hunter added 23 points off the bench as seven Hawks scored in double-figures. For the Bulls, they were led by four 20+ point games, 29 points coming from DeMar DeRozan and another 29 points in a career-night for Ayo Dosunmu.

Proceedings looked promising for the hosts for much of the first half — the Hawks building a double-digit lead inside the first quarter — and even when the Bulls made a run the Hawks had a reply in them and ran their lead back up to 12 points in the second quarter.
