Bulls-Hawks Preview

After their nine-game winning streak came to an end on the road, the Atlanta Hawks may now have a difficult time extending their best stretch on their home floor in four years.

The Hawks hope to bounce back with their seventh straight victory at home, though it isn't likely to come easy Monday night against a Chicago Bulls team that owns the Eastern Conference's best road record.

Atlanta (16-7) won by an average of 14 points during its longest winning streak in 17 years before Orlando's Tobias Harris hit a 13-foot jumper at the buzzer in Saturday's 100-99 road defeat.

Since averaging 105.4 points on 49.5 percent shooting over an eight-game stretch, the Hawks have slumped offensively with 93.7 per game and a 40.3 field-goal percentage in their last three.

Jeff Teague finished with 24 points and Al Horford added 18 against the Magic, but the rest of the team shot a combined 35.3 percent from the field and 6 for 23 from beyond the arc.

"I'm proud of our guys, the way they competed," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "I think offensively we've got to get a little bit better. We've got to attack more. We've got to get in the paint."

Budenholzer's club hasn't shot better than 41.8 percent over its past three games at Philips Arena, though it has extended its winning streak there behind an outstanding effort on the defensive end.

Atlanta has limited opponents to 85.8 points on 39.8 percent shooting - including 28.8 from 3-point range - during its best run at home since winning 10 in a row from Nov. 25, 2010-Jan. 8, 2011.

Central Division-leading Chicago (15-8), which has gone 11-3 on the road, seeks a season high-tying fourth straight win and seventh in a row against the Hawks after Sunday's 93-75 win at Miami.

Known for their stingy defense in years past, the Bulls have been strong offensively this season. Even after their lowest-scoring output since Nov. 21, they're averaging 107.3 points in the last nine games.

"With what we have, there shouldn't be many nights where we struggle offensively," said Mike Dunleavy, who had a team-high 22 points and hit four 3s. "If the outside shots aren't going, we have many ways to get inside, and we can push the ball."

Jimmy Butler is averaging 21.3 points over his last 10 games, while Derrick Rose has scored 22.7 per game in his past three. Because of injuries, Rose hasn't played in Atlanta since January 2012.

The Bulls allowed a season-low total Sunday while limiting the Heat to 4-of-22 shooting from beyond the arc. They may need a similar effort against an Atlanta team that has made a conference-best 213 3-pointers.

Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah may not be able to go again after missing three games with an ankle injury. He averaged 14.8 points and 12.5 boards to help Chicago take all four meetings in last season's series.

Teague totaled 47 points and 15 assists while hitting 6 of 11 from 3-point range in the last two matchups. Paul Millsap has averaged 18.6 points in his last seven versus Chicago dating to his time with Utah.

Former Bull Kyle Korver has made 44 consecutive free throws, leaving him three shy of matching the franchise record set by Tom McMillen in 1978-79.

Horford scores 21, leads Hawks past Bulls 93-86

ATLANTA (AP) The Atlanta Hawks have shown they can beat up on the NBA's weaker teams.

This time, they took down one with a more impressive resume.

Al Horford scored 21 points, including a huge jumper with just under a minute remaining, and the streaking Hawks won for the 10th time in 11 games with a 93-86 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

Atlanta had a nine-game winning streak - its longest since 1997 - until Orlando hit a buzzer-beating shot Saturday night for a 100-99 victory.

But that run, as impressive as it was, came with a very large asterisk: None of the teams the Hawks beat had a winning record.

That wasn't the case with the Bulls, who came in with three straight wins and just behind Atlanta in the Eastern Conference standings.

"Each night we want to have the same expectations, the same standards, no matter who we're playing," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. "But it's always good to be tested by some of the teams we're going to be playing now."

The Hawks led most of the way, yet never by more than 10 points. After Taj Gibson's dunk with 1:13 remaining brought the Bulls to 87-84, Horford got loose for a 19-footer on the wing and knocked it down.

"It was about time," Horford said with a smile. "I missed a few of them around the elbow area that I normally make. They kept going in and out, in and out. Percentages, I guess. I was due to hit one. It was a big shot for us."

Pau Gasol put back his own miss to make it 89-86 with 23.7 seconds left, giving the Bulls one more chance. Jimmy Butler made a huge defensive play, leaping high in the air to stuff an attempted crosscourt pass from Kyle Korver, who had a couple of teammates wide open near the basket. The Atlanta player recovered from his miscue, getting his hands on the ball, too, as both players tumbled to the court to force a jump ball.

Even though Butler won the tip, Paul Millsap swooped in to snatch the ball away for Atlanta.

The Hawks sealed the victory at the foul line, ending Chicago's three-game winning streak. The Bulls had won six straight over the Hawks, including a sweep of all four games last season.

Millsap added 17 points for Atlanta.

Butler led Chicago with 22 and Gibson added 15, but Derrick Rose was held to 14 points on 6-of-21 shooting. The Hawks focused on keeping the Bulls star from penetrating the lane, forcing him to settle for jumpers.

It wasn't his night.

"Shots I normally hit, tonight they were flat," Rose said. "I just didn't have any lift to them. I guarantee you next game that won't happen."

TIP INS

Bulls: Joakim Noah sat out his fourth straight game with an injured right ankle. ... Rose missed his first five shots. He finally made the scoresheet on a drive with 7:09 left in the second quarter. ... The Bulls had won their last six games against the Hawks by an average of 15.8 points. ... The teams meet two more times this season, both in Chicago.

Hawks: Atlanta had to go without backup center Pero Antic, who was sidelined with flu-like symptoms. ... With Antic out, 35-year-old Elton Brand was one of the first guys off the bench. He had eight points and two rebounds in 13 1/2 minutes. ... DeMarre Carroll picked up a technical foul early in the second quarter for griping about a foul call while defending the baseline. ... The Hawks had 26 assists, the 22nd time in 24 games they've dished out at least 20.

QUOTABLE

"We put ourselves in the hole. We should have had the lead a long time ago. Don't get me wrong, they're a great team. But we should have made sure we came out a little more aggressive at the beginning of the game." - Rose on the Hawks, who grabbed the lead for good with 6:53 left in the opening quarter.

UP NEXT

Bulls: Host the New York Knicks on Thursday.

Hawks: Play at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
