After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Hawks 122-112. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
