After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks downed the Bulls 121-104. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
