After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Bulls 116-108. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
