After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Bulls 117-87. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
