In a standout performance, Onyeka Okongwu tallied 23 points, seven rebounds, and six assists over 39 minutes in the Hawks’ narrow loss to the Bulls. Despite shooting efficiently and leading all scorers with 17 first-half points, Okongwu’s impact diminished in the second half as Jalen Johnson and Trae Young led Atlanta’s late comeback attempt. The Hawks’ efforts ultimately fell short on the game’s final possession.
