After Action Report

In Chicago, the Hawks outlasted the Bulls 110-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
