After Action Report

The Bulls outlasted the Hawks 116-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
