After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls handled the Mavericks 107-96. Bulls' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
