I did not notice that the Hawks have won just 6 games!

Markkanen has a stomach virus and may not play tonight.

 

And Young will not play.

Lauri Markkanen scores 25 points, Bulls rout Hawks 116-81



Aside from the lingering effects of an illness, Lauri Markkanen was feeling just fine Saturday night.

It's a far cry from early in the season when the third-year forward was struggling to find his comfort level in a new offensive system.

Markkanen had 25 points, Zach LaVine added 19 and the Chicago Bulls nearly led wire-to-wire in a 116-81 victory over the short-handed Atlanta Hawks.
