After Action Report

The Bulls pulled away from the Hawks 121-109. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls are in a full-on tailspin; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
