The Bulls ran rougshod over the Hawks in Atlanta, surpassing the .500 mark for the first time in over two years, with a monumental 107-82 win.

Kirk Hinrich led the Bulls to a 100-89 victory with 24 points and nine assists, while Richard Hamilton had 32 points for the losers. Chicago hadn't won twice in Detroit in one season since 1995-96.
