After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Bulls 106-84. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
