Game Notes:

This is our moment fellas. Time to put up or shut up. This is the beginning of what's about to be some tough basketball for our squad. Chicago is only a game behind us so we need to get the W here to remain in the top 3 east. Hopefully we can overcome this shooting slump that we have been in the past three games. Should be a good one!

Over/Under: Korver will sink three 3's

[Hawk Eye]

I'm going with under tonight, chicago is very familiar with Korvers work. I think they will be able to contain him well.

lol...

Is us beating Chicago still considered an upset?

[ATL Boy]

This is good, we're making them play our brand of basketball: we're going up and down the court with them, running. We can't afford to revert to their half court grind it out game.

[DirtybirdGA]

28 first quarter points against a top defense.

[DirtybirdGA]

Got a lil distance at the half, thanks Kyle.

[ATL Boy]

Korver moves into 15th place in all time 3 pointers made. I think by the time he's done, he could make his case as the greatest 3 point shooter ever, even if he never takes 1st place.

[DirtybirdGA]

Got em at arms length going into the fourth .

[WorldBeFree]

Millsap has maybe the best handles for a PF, i really like him. I will Pop up sometimes im your thread, just hoped on the bandwagon haha. Got to watch some winning basketball too.

We aren't getting the calls inside. It is frustrating.

It's all so frustrating when you can't hit your fts.

Good defense down the stretch.

Korver with a brain fart. You're a 90% ft shooter. Hold the ball!!

Finally they knock off Chicago.

[ATL Boy]

Korver just did that for suspense

Great job beating the first above .500 team we've seen in a while, that was an important home win with our brutal schedule moving forward, and it has some early season standings implications.

[ATL Boy]

I like how whenever they came close we just pulled away with a run of our own. That Dunleavy 3 going in and out when they were down 2 was big.

[Jamaaliver]

BIG win for the Home Team. Wasn't the prettiest, but it was well earned. Glad to see us beat a perennial favorite.

Even more excited to see AL getting stronger and more productive.

Will be savoring a W versus a club that seems to have owned us in recent years.

One worrisome observation: That rebounding margin...is troubling. CHI was kept ion the game largely due to defense and rebounding. If we cut that offensive Rebound total of theirs in half, we probably win comfortably.

In the playoffs...or when Joakim comes back...those are the things that could cost us.

But very excited to walk away with a Victory against a playoff favorite.

[Hawk Eye]

Had work tonight, just finished watching the game off of DVR. Where was McBuckets tonight? I was looking forward to seeig some PT from the rook. Anyways..

Great win!! We were tested tonight by a top tier eastern team and pulled am away with the W!

[ATL Boy]

Doug is out 6-8 weeks I think
