After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls handled the Mavericks 111-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
