After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Bulls 124-103. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
