After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the Bulls 99-86. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
