The Bulls get a total team effort as they beat the #3 Team in the Eastern Conference as we go to press in the Atlanta Hawks. They did it with 5-Star Front Line involving 2012-13 All-Star Joakim Noah and Luol Deng.

The Bulls just stayed the course and put on their Construction Hats and went to work for 48 minutes. They were minus PF Carlos Boozer out with a sore knee but played a Hawks Team that has All-Star Big Al Horford out for 2013-14 with a Torn Pectoral not making excuses for the Highlight Factory.

The Bulls didn't shoot a high percentage but they defended and grabbed as many Oranges as humanly possible. A 52-43 rebounding advantage and a +10 margin at the FT Line in Attempts gives the Bulls the 91-84 "W". Luuuuuu had 17 points and 11 boards with Jo Knows and the Taj-Manian Devil getting 12 points each and grabbing Ten Oranges apiece. Throw in Bloodline Mike Dunleavy Jr. (20 pts)...the Bulls earn all of this one.

Hawks Stars in a Leading Role in PG Jeff Teague (16 pts 6 asst) and Paul "Sap" Milsap (16 pts 12 rebs) did what they do but they had no help. The Hawks are going through that adjustment period as that void left by Big Al Horford is irreplaceable. The Bulls move to 14-18 as the Hawks move to 18-14....
