After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Hawks 115-96. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
