After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Bulls 90-83. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
