Marc Stein of DLLS joins Matt, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb to offer his thoughts on the win and the Bulls season thus far. The Bulls were down big again in this one, trailing by as many as 18 points in the first half. But after surrendering 70 first half points, the defense clamped down to hold the Hawks to just 43 points in the final 24 minutes. Zach LaVine and Coby White both had key buckets in the 4th quarter. The guys discuss the best performances from the win. Was this a "good" Patrick Williams game? And what should we make of Billy Donovan's rotation adjustments?
