After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls survived the Hawks 116-114. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · 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.
