Locked on Hawks podcast: Bulls recap and takeaways

Greetings, everyone! Mike Budenholzer and the Atlanta Hawks continue to roll along after a victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening. Following that contest, Sean Highkin of Locked on Bulls (and The Athletic) co-hosted a crossover episode of the podcast live from Philips Arena and topics for Thursday’s show include the following:

• The first half offensive explosion for the Hawks and what role Chicago’s porous defense played in the festivities
• Thabo Sefolosha had an explosive day on the offensive end
• The Bulls have defensive problems in general, but one player stands at the center and it isn’t Jimmy Butler or Dwyane Wade
• Dennis Schröder’s return to Earth after the highs of Tuesday in Cleveland
• A rough night for old pal Bobby Portis
• The fit between Dwight Howard and Paul Millsap
• Doug McDermott’s majestic dunk
• Much, much more
