After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls survived the Mavericks 103-102. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
