After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Bulls 100-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
