After beating the Detroit Pistons 126-108 in Paris, France, the Chicago Bulls returned to the states and earned a 110-100 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, January 23, at the UC.

Bulls forward Patrick Williams had one of his best games of the season. Williams scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the win over the Hawks on Monday night.

“I thought Patrick was really good tonight on the glass. He had some really important timely rebounds both defensively and offensively. That was important for us in crucial situations,” said Bulls coach Billy Donovan via ESPN. “He is a guy that has to try to get double-figure rebounds for us.”

The Bulls outscored the Hawks 40-27 in the second quarter and 33-22 in the fourth quarter. After losing the first quarter 21-17, the Bulls closed out the game with a 94-79 run.
