After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Bulls 109-98. Hawks torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
