After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks edged the Bulls 91-83. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
