After Action Report
The Bulls handled the Hawks 114-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
