After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Bulls 98-97. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
