After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls outlasted the Hawks 116-110. The breakneck pace played right into Bulls' hands. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
