After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Bulls 120-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
