Chicago Bulls vs. Atlanta Hawks Game 4

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night 100-88. The Bulls really could not get anything going in this game and only led for a short time. Atlanta came to play in this game as they were wanting to even this series up at 2. Josh Smith was a machine for Atlanta scoring 23 points and 16 rebounds. Joe Johnson had 24 points and Al Horford added 20 points. Derrick Rose had 34 points and 10 assists, but shot only 12-32 from the field. Carlos Boozer had a good game with 18 points and 6 rebounds. Both Boozer and Deng need to step up a little bit in game 5 on Tuesday night, if the Bulls want to go up 3-2 in the series. The first quarter, in this series has been huge for both teams as it seems the team that comes out of the gate with the lead ends up winning the game. The Bulls will play the Hawks on Tuesday night back in Chicago and a 3-2 advantage in the series is on the line. The Bulls really need to win this game 5 because they definitely do not want to go back to Atlanta trailing this series 3-2. The Bulls need to have someone other than Derrick Rose to step up and play well. If someone can do that the Bulls will be headed back to Atlanta looking to move on to the Conference finals.
