After Action Report

The Hawks handled the Bulls 95-79. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
