Hawks 107, Bulls 99:
Kyle Korver drained seven 3-pointers en route to 24 points as visiting Atlanta went wire-to-wire to win its 12th straight game and complete a four-game road sweep.

Al Horford added 22 points on 11-of-14 shooting and nine rebounds for the Hawks, who are within two of the franchise record for consecutive wins set during the 1993-94 season. Jeff Teague had 17 points and 11 assists and Paul Millsap added 16 points as Atlanta won for the 26th time in 28 games and extended its franchise record with a 12th straight road win.

Derrick Rose had 23 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Bulls, who continue to slide with a fifth loss in seven games. Pau Gasol had 22 points and 15 rebounds and Jimmy Butler chipped in 15 points for Chicago.

Consecutive slams by Millsap and Horford gave the Hawks an 11-7 lead and they never trailed thereafter. Mike Scott drained a 3-pointer at the first-quarter buzzer for an eight-point lead and Korver hit three second-quarter 3-pointers as Atlanta led 48-39 at the half.

Horford scored 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting and Korver drained two more shots from the arc in the third to offset 15 points and four 3-pointers by Rose as Atlanta took a comfortable 76-67 lead into the fourth. Chicago got within five twice on a pair of strong drives by Rose, but Thabo Sefolosha answered the first with a jumper and Horford answered the second with a jumper, and Atlanta made its next three shots from the field as it reached the century mark in Chicago for the first time since March 1, 2010.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Rose has shot 15-of-27 from the arc in his last three games after shooting 6-of-36 in his previous eight games. … Korver missed just twice from deep and finished one triple short of his career high as Atlanta connected on 11-of-26 from the arc. ... Horford has shot 19-of-22 in the last two games.
