After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Hawks 120-119 in overtime. Bulls torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
