After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Bulls 97-88. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
