After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Bulls 141-127. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
