Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - The Atlanta Hawks try to snap a three-game slide when they travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls at United Center tonight. Atlanta has dropped eight of its last 10 games, most recently a 93-76 loss to the Seattle SuperSonics. Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and Glenn Robinson added 15 points and six boards to the losing effort. "We were tentative with the ball," said Hawks coach Terry Stotts. "I thought it was a game of two halves. The first half was up and down and we just couldn't keep the tempo going." The Hawks are 5-25 on the road and have a 13-22 mark within the Eastern Conference. Chicago has won two straight on the heels of a three-game slide. The Bulls' latest triumph was a 103-95 home win over Toronto. Jalen Rose finished with 26 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the victory. "I was just trying to be aggressive," Rose said. "I looked and saw we were down. I just tried to do what I could to help us get the win. We have a lot of young players on this team who are feeling their way around." The Bulls have an 18-9 mark at home and are 13-22 within the Eastern Conference. Atlanta and Chicago have split a pair of meetings this season, with both games played at Philips Arena. The Hawks have won 12 of the last 18 meetings between the teams and three of their last four at Chicago. Chicago leads the all-time series 90-75. |
