After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks outlasted the Bulls 113-107. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
