After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Bulls 118-84. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
