After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Bulls 120-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- 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.
