Sat Dec 27 00:30:00 UTC 2025: Bulls Steal Win in Atlanta, Extend Streak to Four
ATLANTA – The Chicago Bulls clawed their way back from a double-digit deficit to snatch a 126-123 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday night, marking their fourth consecutive win. Coby White proved to be the hero, sinking a tiebreaking free throw with just 1.9 seconds remaining after being fouled before an inbound pass. White finished with 24 points.
The Bulls, who trailed by as many as 18 points in the second quarter, were sparked by an outstanding performance from Josh Giddey, who recorded his seventh triple-double of the season with 19 points, 15 assists, and 11 rebounds. Nikola Vucevic contributed a double-double of his own with 21 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Bulls secure their third win against the Hawks this season.
Despite strong performances from Jalen Johnson (24 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds) and Trae Young (22 points, 15 assists), the Hawks suffered their fourth straight loss. A late layup by Nickeil Alexander-Walker briefly tied the game, but the foul on White sealed their fate.
Chicago closed the game on a 19-6 run. Tensions flared late in the fourth quarter when Young and Chicago’s Ayo Dosunmu engaged in a brief shoving match, resulting in technical fouls for both players.
