After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Bulls 98-89. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
