After Action Report

The Hawks snuck past the Bulls 107-103. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' stars took over and bent the game to their will; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
