After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Hawks 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
