After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks pulled away from the Bulls 151-137 in double overtime. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
