After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Bulls 100-89. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
