The Atlanta Hawks will be playing their third game of their first back-to-back-to-back of the season when they host the Chicago Bulls in today’s game of the day. This is also Atlanta’s fifth game in six nights.
Fatigue will definitely be a factor for the Hawks today. Thursday night, Atlanta lost a triple-overtime game to the Miami Heat, and last night the Hawks beat the Charlotte Bobcats, 102-96, in overtime.
Tuesday night, the Chicago Bulls overcame a 19-point deficit to beat Atlanta 76-74. The Hawks led the Bulls by 14 points heading into the fourth quarter, but Chicago outscored Atlanta 34-18 in the final quarter to get the win.
Chicago’s 33rd and 34th points of the quarter were the result of a beautiful play drawn up by Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.
After inbounding the ball to Bulls center Joakim Noah, Luol Deng made hard cut to the basket off of a Derrick Rose screen. Noah passed the ball to a wide-open Deng who converted the layup to give the Bulls a 76-74 lead with just 3.7 seconds remaining on the clock. The Bulls then forced Joe Johnson of the Hawks into a contested 25-foot three pointer to close out the game.
