After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Bulls 126-113. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · 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.
