After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Bulls 140-118. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
