After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls buried the Mavericks 137-99. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
