After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Bulls 102-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
