Bulls vs. Hawks final score: Bulls receive rare trouncing
by Atlanta   So the Bulls aren't completely immune to laying an
egg, but it's still very rare. And though they've managed to
handle similar circumstances better in the past few weeks, it's
still on a back-to-back on the road in front of a comparably-
good team. The Hawks played the night before as well, but still:
though (as Jay pointed out) Sam Smith may not recognize it yet,
they are a good defensive team, currently 5th in the NBA.  And
Atlanta had a couple important matchups to take advantage of
Saturday night, both stemming from an athleticism and quickness
gap. The frontcourt of Horford and Smith did a lot of damage in
attacking Carlos Boozer, and as a team Atlanta completely owned
the rebounding edge (32% ORR, 84% DRR).  At PG they also had an
edge with a multi-headed attack of Jeff Teague and Lou Williams,
the latter starting for the first time this season. Hinrich was
probably given too long of a leash when it was apparent all he
could really do
