The Bulls overthrow the Hawks in the thriller in quadruple overtime despite the historic night of Trae Young

The big news of the Friday night clash between the Bulls and the Hawks was the status of John Collins, who developed flu-like symptoms after Atlanta's last match against the Timberwolves. Collins was forced to leave early in overtime because he seemed exhausted and tired and did not play most of the extra time in the win over Minnesota.

Tonight, the Hawks created Omari Spellman instead of Collins, alongside regulars Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, Taurean Prince and Dewayne Dedmon.

The first quarter started with the victory of the Bulls, but the first points of the match were not scored until Kris Dunn led to the rim to break the seal in the fifth possession of the match. Atlanta responded with a three-fingered pointer from Prince's hands, but from there, the Bulls really increased their intensity.

Zach LaVine scored five runs before Dedmon could catch a magnificent Young lob to help stabilize the ship early. From there, the Hawks began to settle down a bit more, with the team again receiving contributions from Prince and Dedmon from around the bow to help keep things close.

Later in the quarter, Vince Carter entered the match and was a great bridge from the start, since he stepped off the bench to hit two straight shots, including one to three pointers. Jaylen Adams also scored three runs on the bench with less than a minute to go, allowing the Hawks to have a 33-26 lead, leaving the score at the end of the first period.

The second period started with a wave of activities by Young, who launched a decisive pass to Dedmon for slam, followed by a pointer from Alpharetta (no, seriously).

Young added a layup before any action in the game was blocked in the middle of the quarter.

Things got better with just under six minutes left at half-time when Otto Porter, who was quite quiet early in the game, shot a deep strike to narrow the Hawks' narrow lead. Kent Bazemore helped meet the next Atlanta possession with a nice two-man game with Spellman that led to a dunk for the great rookie. Young then added another player floating on the track to keep control of the match for the home team.

The action then stagnated again until the score of three minutes, then Young launched the attack for Atlanta, making his way to the line of free throws for two more points, before giving a decisive pass to Alex Len in the track. . For the Bulls, it was only LaVine, who continued to score goals out, taking advantage of his excellent athleticism to jump over the Atlanta defense.

The quarter ended on a disappointing note with Lauri Markkanen missing a point with all the zeros posted to reduce the Atlanta lead to three points. In the lead-up to the break, the Hawks found themselves with a low lead of 60-57, whose coach Lloyd Pierce could not have been satisfied after playing so well for much of second quarter.

In the second half, both teams came out of the locker room on fire. Huerter, Young and Spellman all scored successively in consecutive possessions, while Chicago scored in two of its first three possessions with two points from Porter.

The action continued as Markkanen increased his energy, scoring multiple goals in the middle of the quarter. From there, a three-point match broke out, Atlanta giving the kick off thanks to a Carter shot followed by a shot by Kris Dunn from a distance. Huerter nailed one, to which Markkanen replied again. Four consecutive possessions ending in a three-point mark, for those of you who count at home.

Towards the end of the third run, Chicago made a quick 7-0 to take the lead in the final two minutes and the Hawks found themselves in a 95-84 hole to end up in the final phase and needed 39, a big late return. Omari Spellman was forced to leave the game at the end of the third period after getting ankle rolled, which was not good for a team already at the Hawks' disadvantage. He would not return to the game and his status is outstanding for the rematch in Chicago on Sunday.

Atlanta came out in the fourth loan to go into the game, when Trae Young started to go crazy (again), scoring seven points in the first half of the quarter on three-way shooting.

The Bulls were struggling to hang on, turning to three consecutive possessions towards Markkanen. Huerter made a bad fall at the beginning of the fourth quarter and did not return; The Hawks desperately missed control of his sideball as the Bulls increased the pressure on Young.

The Hawks were able to draw a single point near the five-minute mark, but Chicago then came together to score five points in under 30 seconds, thus extending the gap until 116-108. Young made another double-double in the middle of the fourth in the direction of DeAndre 'Bembry.

Over the next two minutes, the action stalled until Young was able to win a volley and run on the ground for an easy throw that reduced the lead to four. On the next possession, Young found Dedmon on a roll that reduced the deficit to two. Finally, on the horizon of 2:22, Atlanta finally took the lead thanks to Young, who managed a three-point transition pass that allowed the Hawks to return to 117-116.

After a break, Chicago and Atlanta went aimlessly on consecutive possessions. Taurean Prince then snapped a lazy pass that he rushed to the ground for a jam that brought Atlanta ahead to three. Then, the minute that followed, Young passed LaVine for a free-fall pass, allowing him to exceed 30 points while giving Atlanta a five-point lead.

Otto Porter then decided to save the Bulls. He first nailed a pointer to the 53 second. After an empty possession by the Hawks, he descended to the ground and drove up to the rim to tie the match to the second mark.

The score being tied at 124, Atlanta added the ball to Young, who took his time to speak. The rookie sensation calmly backed off the top of the key and managed to score three points before the end of the match, two seconds remaining in front of the defender.

The Bulls had no prayer, but were saved at the whistle, Dedmon having been hit by a dubious call (at best) leading to three free throws almost relentlessly. Porter crossed the finish line and calmly stalled the three gifts to send the game in overtime.

Atlanta just finished an affair with Minnesota on Wednesday night so it was not new to them. Young opened the overtime period in the same manner as in the regulation, scoring three goals to allow the Hawks to qualify quickly.

The Bulls got out of the deal by making a huge trip, which led Robin Lopez to make a pass to reduce the lead to one. Then Kevin Huerter had the chance to shine brightly, while he managed a quick shot to hit a three back to dribble Atlanta. Chicago fought back with three quick strikes from LaVine to bring him back to one.

At around 3:40 of overtime, Young went back to the floor with a foul. After hitting both shots to keep the Hawks in the lead, Atlanta gave another try to Lopez. In the following possession, Kevin Huerter got three wheels. LaVine then doubled its wheel to allow Chicago to regain the lead at 133-132.

While he only had 2:30 left, Young returned to the line for another float to come and carry him past the 40 point mark of the night and for the first time in his career. Young also became the first rookie to score 40 points and 10 assists in a match since LeBron James in March 2004. After another attempt by LaVine, which was starting to become unstoppable, Young responded with two more free throws to re-take the head momentarily at 136-135.

Going back down and back and forth, LaVine approached the goal and committed a foul on Dedmon for his sixth of the match, sending Dewayne back to the bench. At the next taking possession, Atlanta performed a nice pick and roll action involving Young and Len, who teamed up for an easy dunk by Len.

LaVine continued to be out of her mind and went straight down, straightening up for three and taking the lead again. After a three-point deficit by Young, things started to tighten at the last minute. Chicago managed to get a waving pass on the ground and put the ball back on the floor before Vince Carter was able to foul Wayne Selden, who scored a goal on the line to give some 39, hope to the Hawks. 140-138.

After a three-point deficit missed by Huerter, Chicago's turned to LaVine (why not, is not it?), But the Hawks made a fantastic defensive assault to save the game. Seven seconds from the end, Young sprinted to the floor and escaped to tie the game with a second to lose. For some reason, the Bulls did not catch their last deadline with 1.0 seconds on the clock and LaVine could not kick the ball from the background and the supporters of State Farm Arena had five minutes more of basketball to break the deadlock.

The double extra period started with a Hawks turnaround followed by a failed three-point LaVine attempt. Young was then easily moved closer to the rim and gave the Hawks a new lead at 142-140. After a missed three-pointer pass from Huerter, Chicago was able to return to the rim with Porter to tie the game.

Then, just over three minutes from the end, Young managed to find Bembry in the corner for a three-pointer to get his head back.

After missing a three-pointer by Selden, Atlanta responded with a shot from Len after a (rare) loss to Young.

Around two minutes and the Hawks at the helm of 147-142, the Bulls started playing a dangerous game, but have returned in the last three days thanks to a huge dunk driving LaVine. While there was only one minute remaining in the second overtime, Atlanta had an expensive turnover to keep the Bulls' hope alive just 147-144.

After a timeout, just 35 seconds from the end, the Bulls caught the ball towards LaVine who led to the rim and kicked Ryan Archidiacono (who else?) In the corner that struck a heartbreaking blow to return to 147.

The Hawks had 24 seconds left and chose not to take time out. They went down to the ground with Young, who found Carter on the wing for a three open off that slammed on the sill.

Chicago bounced the ball seven seconds from the end and hit Prince, who gave Atlanta the lead for three seconds. After the Bulls' last break for the second overtime, Chicago went to Porter, who missed a lead stoppage to take the game to a third overtime.

Atlanta won the third overtime and immediately entered a Young / Carter pick-and-roll, which allowed Vince to miss another large number of open. At the next game, Atlanta intercepted a wandering pass from LaVine and put Bazemore on the line at the other end. He scored twice on the line to give Atlanta the first lead in triple overtime.

A minute passed, the Hawks and Bulls exchanged shots to keep the Hawks at 148-147. After another empty possession of Chicago, Young handed a pass to Len in the hallway, who was the victim of a foul during a hit. Len missed the point after attempt, but he still managed to lead Atlanta to three.

Then, with just over three minutes to play, the Bulls were able to make a mistake at the rim. Shaq Harrison came close to the finish line and stalled both shots to bring the lead back to one goal. For Atlanta, Young was constantly doubled, but managed to leave the passes to his teammates, finding Len again in the paint to return to third place, 152-149.

Then it was Chicago's turn to tie the game to just under two minutes of the win, thanks to Zach LaVine who scored three points and now has 40 points, bringing the score to 152-152.

The Hawks responded by returning to Young, who was able to find Carter. The veterinarian (finally) opened a three-pointer to give Atlanta a three-point lead at the end. Atlanta fouled LaVine in the next possession, but missed one of his free throws to let the Hawks lead to two.

With less than 90 seconds remaining in the third overtime, Young missed a deep pass and the Bulls decided to run with LaVine, who passed Alex Len tied for 155. In the last minute, Carter missed another attempt three points, and the Bulls bounced the ball, but were caught with a toe on the line to give Hawks another possession.

Atlanta failed to get a good shot as Bembry was caught traveling under the rim, sending the ball back to Chicago with 30 ticks remaining. The Bulls came closer to LaVine who dribbled the clock for 10 seconds before missing a shot, without having brushed the rim (or anything else).

Returning, the Hawks were only six seconds off and put a timeout to advance the ball trying to prevent the game from going to a third overtime. After the time was up, Atlanta went to Young, who was caught on the bottom line and was whistled for leaving the field by returning the ball to the Bulls three seconds from the end.

After a quick replay, Chicago received the ball and turned to Zach LaVine, who made a monumental mistake by directly charging Vince Carter, offering Atlanta a last chance.

Atlanta did not have a timeout and was forced to go to the safety valve Alex Len, who launched a raging prayer that missed him and sent the match to an exhausting FOURTH EXTRA.

To open the fourth overtime, Atlanta has chosen to give Young a break in favor of Jaylen Adams, who is cooler. The teams exchanged their empty assets to start, but Atlanta played well between Bembry and Len, who managed to get out into the corner, where he hit a three-pointer to give the Hawks a lead of 158-155.

Young came back in the game with a little under 3:30 of play and was immediately called, with a command to the edge just out. After a failure in Chicago, Atlanta ran to the ground and found Len near the edge for a foul. After scoring 1 to 2 on the line, the Hawks left a stuck game at Lopez to tie the game back to 159.

The Hawks then experienced a costly turn-over, aggravated by a serious fault from Len, who surprised Markkanen by hitting three. Markkanen managed all three shots to allow the Bulls to go up three.

After a quick dive from Lopez, the Hawks found themselves five minutes behind at less than two minutes. Young managed to rush to the ground and drop a stick to bring him back to three with less than 90 seconds to go.

With Atlanta at 164-161 and less than a minute left, Zach LaVine found a dagger strike that earned him a five-minute lead, putting the Hawks in hot water late . After a timeout, the Hawks had 37 seconds to score five points and first went to Bazemore, who could not score any shot all night and missed a three-pointer to seal at just about the case.

Chicago bounced up to five and dribbled to the ground before taking a timeout at 19 seconds. Atlanta has chosen to make a mistake on Selden's inner pass with the hope still alive. Selden managed one of two shots to bring the Bulls to 167-161, the arch at the top of a fantastic match that one team sadly had to lose.

Young was more than spectacular, finishing with 49 points and 16 assists, the best combination of points and aids for a rookie in NBA history. For Chicago, LaVine shot Young, scoring 47 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds.

Elsewhere, it was a team effort for the Hawks, who had seven double-digit players. On the other hand, Porter and Markkanen each scored 31 points.

These two teams will do it again Sunday afternoon, while the Hawks and Bulls will meet in Chicago for the second leg. Let's pray to all the gods of basketball that this game is half as entertaining as this one.
