After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Bulls 112-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
