Mavericks' Key Performances

Bulls' Efforts

They managed a balanced attack that saw them score from both inside and outside but struggled against Dallas's tight defense. Their bench contributed significantly with 53 points but couldn't overcome The Mavericks' lead.
Chicago was led by their fast break attempts where they scored 20 points but were limited by Dallas’s defense to shoot only at a rate of forty-two percent from field goals overall. Their efforts in paint were notable too; however, it wasn’t enough against a well-rounded Mavericks team.
