After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls handled the Hawks 101-91. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' balanced five covered every spot on the floor. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
