After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Mavericks 121-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
