BULLS 100 HAWKS 85...the HIGHLIGHT Factory 404 gets a heavy dose of JO KNOWS and the TAJ-manian Devil as the BULLS stick HORNS into ATL...WEST SIDE STORY Report with a HAWKS you Cold...you should be! #BULLSnation #LuvABulls #BennyTheBull

Yes the Bulls have played some solid basketball as of late as they had their first game after that 3-3 "Disney on Ice" Trip. The Atlanta Hawks were on the Menu tonight and for Bulls nation a sight all too familiar as Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson go Biggie-Size on the Highlight Factory.

Noah messed around and goes triple-Double with 19 points, sixteen Oranges, and eleven dimes as the TAJ-manian Devil added 24 points, grabbed a dozen Oranges , and handed out five helpers as Jo and Taj joined forces to become the "West Side Body Snatchers". The Hawks Interior had no answer for them all night long as the Bulls also get 15 points and six boards from Bloodline Mike Dunleavy Jr. aka Fundamentals and that from Bulls Color Man Stacey King. The Bulls shot just over 50% from the field but it was the 33-17 leads after one and the 58-39 leads as the Madhouse on Madison went to concessions.  

The Hawks got as close as eight points late but the Bulls put them away. Hawks All-Star Paul Milsap led them with a quiet 15 points with Guards Lou Williams (13 pts) and Jeff Teague (12 pts) the only other Hawks in double figures along with DeMarre Carroll's 11. The Hawks just did not come to play and maybe it was the Windy City's frigid temps that effected ATL as the game was played indoors.

Believe it or not with the Bulls win they leap frog the Hawks for #4 in the East at 26-25 as the Hawks fall to 25-25. ATL slides to #5 with the Wiz Kids D.C. in the #6 hole. Imagine that no D-Rose, they trade Luol, and the Bulls weather all of that and still have the Guts and Glory to hold the #4 seed in the East...and take that Bulls Haters!
