A sustained Chicago rally saw them claw back the scoreline to 93-93 with 1:40 remaining, but Atlanta regrouped and regained the lead with free throws from Kent Bazemore Jared Dudley Jersey , Thabo Sefolosha and Teague.
Jimmy Butler scored a four-point play to take the Bulls back to 98-97 with 19.6 seconds to go, but the Hawks held firm, and four more free throws from Kyle Korver and Teague sealed the win.

Bulls star Derrick Rose, who top-scored with 20 points on 8-for-25 shooting Marquese Chriss Jersey , insisted Chicago were not ready to write off their season.
"We are still fighting, still trying to find our rhythm," Rose said. "[We need to] be mentally strong. Even though we are going through a rough time, [we need to] stay together and make sure everyone is on the same page."
Elsewhere, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 31 points and 13 rebounds as an under-strength San Antonio Spurs cruised to a 101-87 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Tennessee.
San Antonio Charles Barkley Jersey , who have the second-best season record in the league at 62-12, could -afford to rest Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.
Kawhi Leonard was also missing with a bruised quadriceps. But the Spurs' effective second string was still far too powerful for the Grizzlies, who lost their third straight game.
In Toronto, Kevin Durant poured in 34 points while Russell Westbrook added an incredible eighth triple-double in his last 15 games as the Oklahoma City Thunder romped to a 119-100 victory over the Raptors.
Westbrook finished with 26 points Grant Hill Jersey , 12 assists and 11 -rebounds while Durant chipped in with eight rebounds and eight assists.
The win extended the Thunder's winning streak to a season high of eight games, improving their record to 52-22.
