After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Mavericks 127-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
