The Hawks were going to be without No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher again tonight, but they found a way to hang around with the Chicago Bulls. Like the game vs the
Lakers on Wednesday, the Hawks lost a close game at the end and now the head into tomorrow's Summer League finale against the Knicks with an 0-4 record.
DJ Steward had a tremendous performance for the Bulls, scoring 35 points and shooting 8-14 from three. Julian Phillips had 17 points, Adama Sanogo had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Matas Buzelis had 11 points off the bench, despite shooting 4-17 from the field. The Bulls remained in control in the second quarter, despite various attempts from the Hawks to get back in it with runs. With the Bulls up 44-30 with only a few minutes to go in the second half, the Hawks went on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to seven points, but Chicago quikcly responded. For Atlanta, Wallace was the only player that could get anything going on offense. The Bulls had Sanogo, Steward, Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis scoring for them. Chicago led 58-42 at the half.
On Wednesday, the Hawks had a huge third quarter where they shot the ball well and that is how they started the third quarter tonight vs the Bulls. Early on in the quarter, the Bulls got the lead up to 21, but the Hawks had a run in them. Atlanta went on a 12-2 run to make it 65-54 and finally got the lead under ten at the 5:20 mark in the third quarter. The third-quarter run in this game was sparked by Windler and Jonathan Bowden off the bench.
After the timeout, Steward hit a three to get him to 31 points. After that, the Hawks turned the ball over, but were able to get a stop. Windler hit a three to tighten the game up to 92-90 and then the Bulls turned it over because of a backcourt violation. Windler attempted a three to get the lead, but missed, but the Hawks got bailed out when Chicago committed an offensive foul with 57.7 seconds left.
