Hawks lose to Bulls, fall to 1-4; Bull notch first win (1-3; 78)

Atlanta news saw this as a battle of losers.  The Bulls win their first game while both team's rookies continue to impress.

Hawks lose to Bulls, fall to 1-4
CHICAGO — In a matchup of two teams more concerned at the moment with lottery balls than the wins column, the Hawks (1-4) came out on the losing end, falling to the Bulls 91-86 Thursday night.
For a pair of teams that have emphasized ball movement over individual scoring, it wasn’t a pretty offensive affair. Both teams finished the night shooting under 40 percent from the field — Atlanta shot 39.3 percent while Chicago shot 36.5 percent.

Hawks' Rookie big man John Collins scored 13 points, his third consecutive game scoring in double figures.
Bull's Lauri Markkanen sealed the win with a three-pointer with 48 seconds remaining on his way to 14 points and 13 rebounds.
In Cleveland Lauri emerged.  Tonight Lauri showed he can take and make the big shot -- even when having an off shooting night.
