This is the second time the Bulls have crossed both ends of a back-to-back position.
Chicago leads 30-25 after one inning, although Atlanta is 16 points behind Young. The Bulls took an 18-point lead in the second half, but the Hawks took the lead 61-51 after halftime.
Chicago lost to Alex Caruso with 2:29 left in the first half when he fell heavily. Caruso was taken into the dressing room and did not return because of a shoulder sprain. The day before that, he was suspected of spraining his elbow.
Atlanta took the lead in the third inning and took the Bulls’ lead 81-77 to enter the fourth inning. Atlanta took the lead thanks to AJ Griffin’s 3-pointer and made it 100-92 with five minutes left, but couldn’t hold it.
