The Bulls played excellent defense in this game allowing both Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford to only score 17 points combined. Everybody produced for the Bulls in their own way and the bench mob came in and played fantastic as well. Joakim Noah finished with 15 rebounds and 5 blocks and Kyle Korver added 11 points off the bench. Jeff Teague was the leading scorer for the Hawks with 21. Huge difference in games 2 and 3 as compared to game 1. The Bulls allowed the Hawks to shoot a dismal 16 percent from the 3 point line in game 3 after the Hawks shot 58 percent in game 1.
