After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Bulls 92-77. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
