After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Bulls 96-90. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
