After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Bulls 103-90. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' positional balance gave them a synergy edge; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
