The Chicago Bulls are once again a winning team.  

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.

The team that dominated professional basketball for most of the 1990's with two separate 'three-peats' may now finally be escaping the shadow of the Michael Jordan dynasty teams.

Eddy Curry scored 19 points and five of his teammates also had double figures in points.

"We were just having fun out there," Curry said. "We were really clicking on offense."

The post-championship re-building process has been a long one with no shortage of losing.  But six straight years of futility, management changes, and the shuffling of young talent, could now finally be falling into place for the Bulls.  

A lineup that includes rookies Luol Deng and Chris Duhon, second-year player Kirk Hinrich and the 22-year-old Curry, is making a serious impact.

GM John Paxson and head coach Scott Skiles have the club on the right track and surging upward, already being talked about as a potential new powerhouse in the up-for-grabs Eastern Conference.
