After Action Report

The Hawks outlasted the Bulls 135-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; 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.

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.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
