After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Mavericks 90-85. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
