After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Bulls 129-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
