After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Bulls knocked off the Hawks 115-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it

- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
