http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=250124001"ATLANTA (AP) -- Eddy Curry scored 19 points, five of his Chicago teammates also reached double figures and the Bulls surged over .500 for the first time in more than two years with a 107-82 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
The woeful Hawks actually led 24-23 at the end of the first quarter, but things quickly turned ugly for the home team. The Bulls outscored Atlanta 35-12 in the second period -- and the rout was on.
Early on, Chicago appeared to be headed for another dismal season in the post-Michael Jordan era. The Bulls lost 14 of their first 17 games, but they've gone 17-5 since to improve to 20-19.
The stretch already includes winning streaks of five and seven games, and the Bulls have now won three in a row after blowing out the Hawks."
It says two years, but that's because they won their first two games in that season. They haven't been this good this late in the season since Mike. These days it seems like they can't lose. The 70-12 Bulls they are not, but damn if they don't look good.
