Game review
What happened
The Bulls beat the Hawks 125–117 at home. Chicago made 20 of 50 threes to Atlanta's 8 of 40, which was the biggest gap in the game. Norman Powell scored 33 for Chicago, and Jalen Johnson had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Atlanta.
What the model got right
We picked Atlanta at 70%, and the model was wrong. It had Atlanta ahead on team strength (92.2 to 89) and in recent form (about 0 a game against about minus 12.5), and Atlanta did make more shots overall (47 of 107 against 45 of 91).
What didn't work
The model did not see Chicago's three-point night coming. Atlanta missed 32 of 40 from three, and Chicago also made 15 of 21 free throws.
Why
A 70% chance still loses about three games in ten. Atlanta had more total shots and a triple-double from Johnson, but the three-point gap decided it.
