After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Mavericks 130-123. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
