After Action Report
In Dallas, the Bulls held off the Mavericks 111-102. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
