After Action Report
In Chicago, the Mavericks fended off the Bulls 97-91. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
