CHICAGO -- Jeff Teague scored 26 points and dished out seven assists, and the Atlanta Hawks held on for a 102-100 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

Paul Millsap scored 11 points, pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked six shots for the Hawks. Teammate Al Horford also posted a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Derrick Rose led the Bulls with 20 points on 8-for-25 shooting. Pau Gasol scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Chicago (36-37) lost its fourth consecutive game and fell below .500 for the first time this season. The Bulls have lost 11 of 17 and could miss the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08.

After trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half, the Bulls rallied to even the score at 93 with 1:40 remaining. Aaron Brooks hit a 3-pointer and banked in a layup to fuel the comeback.

Atlanta regained the lead on late free throws by Kent Bazemore, Thabo Sefolosha and Teague. Jimmy Butler converted a four-point play to pull the Bulls within 98-97 with 19.6 seconds to go, but the Hawks held on to the lead thanks to four more free throws from Kyle Korver and Teague.

The Hawks entered the fourth quarter with an 80-71 advantage. Teague scored 14 points on a series of driving layups during the third quarter to help Atlanta increase its lead.

Frustrations mounted for the struggling Bulls. Rose drew a rare technical foul for arguing about a non-call with 5:07 left in the third quarter.

Atlanta erased a 13-point deficit during the second quarter to seize a 52-45 lead at halftime. Horford made a pair of jump shots and a layup as part of a 17-1 run that included 15 straight points by the Hawks. Chicago missed 14 shots in a row and went 7:42 between field goals during the run.

The Bulls scored the first eight points of the game and led 31-22 at the end of the first quarter.
