The visiting Atlanta Hawks put on one of the most offensively efficient performances of the season on Monday evening versus the Chicago Bulls. Led by rare reserve and temporary starter, Vit Krejci (18 points, 6/6 from distance), ATL utilized their defensive prowess, balanced scoring and improved Bill of Health off the bench to gain their first win in the season series versus Chicago.

Both Jalen Johnson and Kobe Bufkin returned to action in limited time to give the Hawks an impressive 113-101 win with playoff implications. Despite getting off to a relatively slow start, which matchups were most intriguing among two teams that rank highest in the NBA in the pick & roll offense/system?

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste preview, Wednesday's home game versus the Detroit Pistons, congratulate Dejounte Murray on his Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award and discuss the team's identity gearing into playoff form.
