After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Bulls 103-74. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
