After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Bulls 104-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
