After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Bulls 133-112. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
