ATLANTA -- Lauri Markkanen made three free throws to give Chicago the lead for good late in the fourth overtime, and the Bulls overcame Trae Young's career-high 49 points to beat the Hawks 168-161 in the third-highest-scoring game in NBA history.

The 329 combined points trailed only the 370 scored by the Pistons and Nuggets in triple overtime in December 1983 and the 337 from the Bucks and Spurs in March 1982.

Markkanen finished with 31 points and 17 rebounds. He snapped a 159-all tie by making three free throws after he was fouled by Alex Len.

"I've never been a part of a game that long," said Bulls guard Zach LaVine, who finished with a career-high 47 points. "I air-balled one because I was so damn tired."

Young, the rookie who played almost 56 minutes, had his third straight game of setting or matching his career scoring high after back-to-back games with 36 points. He added 16 assists, 8 rebounds and 9 turnovers.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Young is the first rookie with 120 points in a three-game span since Allen Iverson in April 1997.
