After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks upended the Bulls 99-89. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
