After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Mavericks 122-99. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
