The Bulls Finally Break their Losing Streak When they Beat the Hawks 90-78

The Bulls finally put an end to their 1-5 road record last night when they rolled past the Atlanta Hawks, marking their third win of the season. Thanks to 22 points from Luol Deng, the Bulls were able to pull off a win – that win which fans are hoping will pull them out of their long-lasting slump. Chicago started the game as they have every game this season, with missed shots, turnovers and an overall lack of motivation. Then, suddenly, Luol Deng came through. “If we struggle shooting, we’ve got to be aggressive,” he said, and with this last night’s high-scorer took the reigns and led the Bulls to a win. Deng finished the 90-78 win with 22 points and Ben Gordon followed closely behind with 21.

The win was Chicago’s first in a while. Their 1-5 trip left them with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, a record the talked-up Bulls weren’t expecting to encounter when they started the 2007-2008 season. It was the Bulls 12th straight victory of Atlanta and the Windy City boys actually started to look like a good, cooperative team. They outscored the Hawks 36-21 in the third quarter to stretch a four-point lead into a 70-51 advantage. Not bad, not bad at all.
