After Action Report

In Dallas, the Bulls pulled away from the Mavericks 107-95. Every possession went the Bulls way. The Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
