After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Hawks 104-96. Bulls' offense had its way with the Hawks. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
