After Action Report

The Hawks rolled past the Bulls 135-82. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
