After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks held off the Bulls 99-92. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
