After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Bulls 119-104. Mavericks torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
