After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Bulls edged the Hawks 111-105. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
