After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Hawks 102-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
