The game was tied 108-108 with four seconds left. DeMar DeRozan
shot an airball, but Dosunmu fielded the rebound and stuck it
back for the winning points.
DeRozan scored 28 points to lead Chicago, with Zach LaVine
adding 22 and Nikola Vucevic getting 20 points and seven
rebounds. Dosunmu scored nine.
Atlanta's Trae Young scored 34 points, his third straight game
with 30-plus points. He scored 29 first-half points and sunk
seven 3-pointers for the game. The Hawks also got 18 points and
11 rebounds from Onyeka Okongwu, who tied the game with a basket
with four seconds left. Dejounte Murray had 15 points and 10
assists.

in Chicago.
It was the second time the Bulls have swept both ends of a
back-to-back after winning at Miami 113-103 on Tuesday.
Chicago led 30-25 after one quarter, despite Atlanta getting 16
points from Young. The Bulls led by as many as 18 points in the
second quarter, but the Hawks cut the lead to 61-51 at halftime.
Chicago lost Alex Caruso with 2:29 left in the first half when
he took a hard fall. Caruso was taken to the locker room and did
not return because of a shoulder sprain. Earlier in the day he
was questionable with an elbow sprain.
Atlanta chipped away at the lead in the third quarter and cut
the Bulls' lead to 81-77 going into the fourth. Atlanta took the
lead on a 3-pointer by AJ Griffin and upped the lead to 100-92

Atlanta will conclude its three-game homestand on Friday against
the Detroit Pistons. Chicago will complete its four-game road
trip on Friday against the New York Knicks.
