After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Hawks 120-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
