Bulls hadn’t lost since Dec. 11. DeMar DeRozan hadn’t lost since Nov. 27. – 9:33 PM Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
This game felt similar to those two road games in Indy & Wash, but when #Bulls were in a lull and needed to make a push mid-4thQ, Mavs responded by draining a bunch of 3s. – 9:32 PM Brad Townsend @townbrad
Welp, this five-game Mavericks winning streak that’s about to become six straight looks like the real deal.
Four nights after beating Western Conference leader Golden State by 17 points, Dallas leads Eastern Conference leader by 18 with 2 minutes left. – 9:32 PM Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Mavs up on the Bulls, 113-95, with 2:21 Bulls have won 9 in a row and have the best record in the Est. – 9:31 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I’m really curious to see how Jalen Brunson’s free agency plays out. Not a lot of teams with cap space, but he’s one of the best FAs out there. – 9:29 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Great cut and finish by Vooch.

The kid is coming into his own. – 9:27 PM Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Vucevic had seven straight games of at least 12 rebounds, has 6 tonight. #Bulls – 9:27 PM Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls

Good one going at AAC. Mavericks up 83-79 going into the fourth quarter. Luka two assists from a triple-double. Mavericks had a strong finish to the third period, but this one is completely up for grabs. – 9:10 PM Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
If this ain’t an All-Star, we don’t know what is.

JG’s been HOOPIN’ 💪 pic.twitter.com/W7dSGekRvA – 8:42 PM Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
You can see why Mavs & Bulls are two of the hottest teams in @NBA. Great 1st half. CHI leads 55-54, and Mavs would lead had Doncic been able to finish as he normally does. Still 7-7-7 in half. Hardaway 9 Green 7 in 2nd after Mavs had trailed by 11. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 8:36 PM Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
We’ve got a ballgame.

7th straight game in double figures for Coby White. – 8:17 PM Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Nice help here from Coby White and DeMar DeRozan on Doncic. DeRozan stunting to shrink the driving gap, White providing low man rim protection.
This has been some of the secret sauce to the Bulls defense. Get flawed help defenders in position early so they can impact the play. pic.twitter.com/s7Xnutnylt – 8:17 PM Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Bulls up 43-33. DeRozan with 10. LaVine and White with 9. Doncic is 1-8 fgs. 7:01 left 1st half. – 8:15 PM Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls are doing a great job getting into Luka Doncic defensively. Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu have taken turns picking him up full-court. Really playing physical with him
Five minutes into Q2, Doncic has 6 assists, but is shooting 1/8 – 8:14 PM Brad Townsend @townbrad
Per NBA Courtside, that was Doncic’s 1,750th career assist, FWIW. That’s a lot, if you’re wondering. – 8:12 PM Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops

Bulls 32-22. Bulls have outscored Mavs 30-12..LaVine with 9. DeRozan with 6. – 8:07 PM Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Fast start has deteriorated quickly for the Mavericks, who are down 32-22 after a quarter. Bulls outscored the Mavs 30-12 after falling behind 10-2. Four turnovers did not help the Mavericks’ cause. They have started the second quarter strong, cutting the deficit to 32-26. – 8:06 PM Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
The Bulls pull off an 18-point swing to take a 10-point lead out of the first quarter in Dallas, setting a scorching pace against one of the better defensive teams in the league. – 8:05 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Warming up in Dallas. pic.twitter.com/6MQQvPHQu8 – 8:05 PM Brad Townsend @townbrad
Well, that was a Bull rush. Chicago turned a 10-2 deficit into a 32-22 lead after one quarter.
LaVine leads Chicago with 9 points, Kleber leads Dallas with 6. Chicago finished the quarter with a 13-2 run. – 8:04 PM Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Nice 1stQ for #Bulls, started out down 10-2, ended up leading 32-22. LaVine has 9 pts, Bulls 4-for-8 from 3-ptr range. – 8:04 PM Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs

Billy Donovan called game’s first timeout after 2 minutes, 50 seconds. Mavericks led 10-2 at that point
Bulls won last 9:10 of first quarter 30-12, carry a 32-22 lead into the second – 8:03 PM Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Beyond any scoring, the energy Coby White brings to this Bulls lineup is truly invaluable. Just running himself ragged on both ends every time he gets on the court. – 8:02 PM KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Another example of Coby White attacking a closeout and getting an open 3 for Troy Brown Jr. – 7:59 PM Brad Townsend @townbrad
10 of Dallas’ 17 shot attempts have been 3-pointers. They’ve made 4, but a little more variety might be good. – 7:59 PM Eddie Sefko @ESefko
After Mavericks’ quick start, Bulls have outscored them 15-4 since and are up 17-14 with 4:38 left in the first. This is no garden-variety team they are playing. Bulls are very strong offensively. – 7:56 PM Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
9-0 run to take the lead!
