BRIEF: Saturday's recap: Hawks 120, Bulls 105

Jan. 10--Al Horford scored 33 points and Paul Millsap 18 to lift the Hawks to a 120-105 victory over the Bulls on Saturday at Philips Arena. Jimmy Butler's 27 points and Nikola Mirotic's 24 weren't enough as the Bulls had their six-game winning streak snapped.

Key moment

After climbing out of a second-quarter, 19-point hole, the Bulls trailed by only six entering the fourth but the Hawks went on a 13-2 run to start the quarter and regain control.

Tribune player of game

Horford. The veteran big man went 15-for-21 from the field and pulled down 10 rebounds.

Key number

10: Consecutive games the Bulls have scored 100-plus points in a contest.

The quote

"Obviously we're a better basketball team than we were at the beginning of the season. We won a few of those games early and they weren't real pretty. It's a matter of building trust with each other and I think we've done a good job of that as the season has gone on. Now it's sustaining it." -- Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg

Vs. Wizards, 7 p.m., Monday; CSN.
