After Action Report

The Bulls ran roughshod over the Mavericks 131-101. Bulls torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
