What defense in iso by Ayo. They don’t automatically switch which would’ve left Vooch on Young. Leads to this go ahead mid range by DeMar #HawksBulls pic.twitter.com/VxCC2gUjKx – 1:04 AM

Crossing over Trae Young with one of his own moves wasn’t enough for Ayo Dosunmu.
In crunch time, the Bulls’ rookie declined to switch so he could keep hounding the All-Star guard.

“What we’re witnessing right now is something that people are going to remember for a long time.”
Ayo Dosunmu knows what’s up with DeMar DeRozan, who sprinkled a game-winning hoop into his historic scoring streak.

Bogi on Trae Young struggling tonight: “He’s our superstar and leader of this team so even when he has these nights we always believe he’s going to turn it up at some point; gonna make the next shot. He knows we are behind him and we support him. Everyone has rough nights.” – 11:36 PM

DeMar DeRozan on his 3-point play with 15.1 seconds left: “When you’re in those moments, you gotta take it on. I love the moments. I love the challenge. I love the opportunity. It’s fun to me.” – 11:28 PM

One thing you hear about this Bulls team a lot is how unselfish they are, from bench players like Coby White to starters like Vooch.
But Ayo Dosunmu credited DeMar DeRozan for something different tonight: “He knows when it’s time to be selfish.” – 11:28 PM

Bogi: “We have to execute at the end. We shouldn’t miss this many free-throws, starting with me… Small details against good teams decide the game.”
Hawks went 18-27 from the line (66.7%) vs. the Bulls tonight.
Bogi had a team-high 27 points but was 0-2 from the line. – 11:24 PM

Tristan Thompson said he not only idolizes Rodman, but wants his number retired, and tries to live his life like Rodman’s on and off the court. Might want to keep it to more on than off … at least for the next few months … then be you, big man! – 11:13 PM

DeMar DeRozan is averaging 8.4 points per game in the 4th quarter.
Only one in Kobe Bryant’s entire career did he average more fourth quarter points per game than DeRozan is right now.

That was…well, fun isn’t the right word. But hopefully Ja Morant is OK and the team gets plenty of treatment between tonight and Saturday against Chicago. The Bulls are playing great basketball right now- that one will not be easy, regardless of health. @JoeMullinax signing off – 10:41 PM

Bulls lead 24-19. The Hawks are still finding the basket, but perimeter defense has been notably improved. Three steals already in the first quarter. – 8:38 PM

Billy Donovan noted before the game that facing the Hawks — who are No. 2 overall in offensive rating — will be a fitting test for the Bulls defense coming off the break.
Opening the game with a Vooch steal for an Ayo dunk is a decent start to that challenge. – 8:15 PM

The Bulls have hardest remaining schedule in NBA, per @Basketball-Reference, a dynamic Billy Donovan relishes
“I like the fact that the schedule is so hard, because if you want to be a team plays after the regular season, those games are really, really hard. You have to deal with hard.” – 7:10 PM
