After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Mavericks 116-86. Bulls torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
