After Action Report
In Dallas, the Bulls demolished the Mavericks 128-101. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
