After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Bulls 104-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
