After Action Report
The Hawks downed the Bulls 100-84. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
