CHICAGO - The Atlanta Hawks are looking down at the rest of the Eastern Conference heading into the second half of the season.
Bengals Jerseys China .With their efficient offence and stingy defence, Kyle Korver and company could
be on top for a while.Korver made a season-high seven 3-pointers on his way to
24 points, and the Hawks beat the Chicago Bulls 107-99 Saturday night for their
12th straight victory.I think were gaining confidence by the game, Korver
said.Al Horford added 22 points and nine rebounds as the Hawks matched the
second-longest win streak in franchise history. Paul Millsap scored 16, and Jeff
Teague had 17 points and 11 assists.The Hawks (33-8) have won 26 of 28 since a
7-6 start, surging to the top of the East with a balanced offence and sound
defence. They closed out the first half of the season with impressive road wins
over Toronto and Chicago on consecutive nights.I think they enjoy sharing the
ball. They enjoy playing with each other, Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said,
and they know that theyll all reap the benefits of it if everybody plays
unselfishly.Derrick Rose had 23 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for
Chicago (27-15), which has dropped five of seven. Pau Gasol had 22 points and 15
rebounds, and Jimmy Butler scored 15.There were lapses. It seemed like we were
down and chasing them the entire game, Rose said. I dont know when we are going
to learn, but we have to learn quickly.Atlanta and Chicago also played on Dec.
15, with the Hawks winning 93-86 at home. It looks as if the gap between the
division leaders has only increased since the first meeting of the season.Korver
had 12 points on 4-for-4 shooting from 3-point range as Atlanta led by as many
as 14 on its way to a 48-39 advantage at the break. The Hawks jumped into
passing lanes and used their active hands to disrupt Chicagos offence, with the
Bulls committing seven turnovers in the first quarter after they totalled seven
during Friday nights win at Boston.It was more of the same in the second half.
Each time Chicago made a run, Atlanta responded.Korver had a four-point play
that made it 80-69 with 11:09 to go. After Rose had a slick layup on the break
that got Chicago within five, Horford buried a face-up jumper and Millsap made
two foul shots to run the lead back out to 97-88 with 3:29 remaining.Were a
confident group, Teague said. We just know if we play the right way and play
great defence and be aggressive defensively that weve got a chance to be in any
ballgame. Were just playing in a really good groove right now.The Bulls played
without centre Joakim Noah, sidelined by a sprained right ankle for the second
straight game. The reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year was scheduled for
an MRI on Saturday, but coach Tom Thibodeau said before the game that he had not
received the results.Chicago forward Mike Dunleavy missed his ninth consecutive
game with a right ankle problem, and rookie Doug McDermott remains out with a
right knee injury.___Travelling SHOWAtlanta extended its franchise-record road
winning streak to 12 games. The Hawks are an NBA-best 16-5 away from home after
beginning with four losses in their first five road games.Atlanta had dropped
its last seven games in Chicago, counting the post-season. It was the Hawks
first road win against the Bulls since a 103-95 playoff victory on May 2,
2011.SHOOTING RANGEKorver was 7 for 9 from 3-point range as the Hawks went 11
