It was a dismal opening night to the 2020-21 NBA regular season for the Chicago Bulls, they came out of the gates flat and the Atlanta Hawks immediately made them pay. Chicago allowed their opponents to score 83 points in the first half (which was a new record for the Hawks) in what ended up being a 124-104 loss.
Atlanta had seven players who scored in double digits and had a true shooting percentage of 66.8 percent. But it was Trae Young leading the way with 37 points and seven assists (in only 26 minutes and on a record-low 12 field goal attempts).
