After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Bulls 129-92. Hawks torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
