After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Mavericks 112-85. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
