After Action Report
The Bulls demolished the Hawks 135-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
