Chris Duhon scored 17 points and the Chicago Bulls held the Atlanta Hawks without a field goal in the third quarter in a 106-81 victory Tuesday night. It was the first time the Bulls held a team without a field goal in a quarter. Atlanta was outscored 28-8 in the third quarter and finished the period 0-for-16 from the field. According to Elias data, it was also the first quarter this season in which an NBA team held its opponent without a field goal. It happened once last season (Sacramento shot 0-for-20 in the fourth quarter in Salt Lake City on Feb. 3, 2006) and once the previous season (Detroit went 0-for-15 in the fourth quarter vs. Utah on March 13, 2005, but the Pistons won the game). Skiles thought the Bulls have played better defense this season. "Our defense was good, not great. We have played better defense than that stretch. We were good and they just missed some shots. When they had opportunities, we fouled them and they weren't able to get the shot off," said Skiles. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Hawks Won't Confirm Or Deny Ridnour Rumors
"We have to look at every way possible to improve our team, and we're doing that," Knight said. "I'm not the type of guy that talks about conversations or possibilities. I just find that counterproductive. But we're certainly evaluating every avenue. We're actively involved in looking at things that can help us improve this team now and for the long term."
