The “Hawks” defeated the Chicago Bulls (36-40) one step higher on the road 113:101 (32:30, 29:23, 29:21, 23:27).
However, despite the convincing lead, the match was not without incidents.
At the end of the match, it had to be stopped for a while when B. Bogdanović threw a water bottle on the ground and spilled the liquid on the parquet.
Not to mention, the disgruntled Serbian soon jumped in the face of coach Q. Snyder, and the heated player had to be pulled away from the strategist by his teammates.
True, the “Hawks” coach was not angered by such an act – he approached B. Bogdanović after a few moments, extended his hand to him and hugged his pupil.

The 31-year-old guard from Belgrade led his team with 20 points and the Hawks are now just one step behind the Bulls in ninth place in the East.
This position would allow the play-offs between the 9th and 10th-placed clubs to begin with home games.
Bulls: DeMar DeRozan 31 (10/20 doubles, 11/12 free), Coby White 22, Ayo Dosunmu 15, Andre Drummond 13 (18 rebounds).
Hawks: Bogdanas Bogdanović 20 (6 rebounds), Vitas Krejči 18 (6/6 triples), Dejounte Murray 17 (8 rebounds, 6 rebounds), Clint Capela 15 (11 rebounds), Jalen Johnson 11, Bruno Fernando 10.
