After Action Report
In Chicago, the Mavericks outlasted the Bulls 108-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
