After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls ran roughshod over the Hawks 132-109. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
