The Dallas Mavericks bounced back from a recent loss to secure a convincing 119-99 victory over the Chicago Bulls, despite missing key players P.J. Washington and Dereck Lively II. Kyrie Irving shone early, scoring 15 points in the first six minutes, while Luka Doncic contributed significantly with 27 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds.

Coach Jason Kidd praised the team's ball movement, which led to 33 assists on 45 field goals and forced 23 turnovers from Chicago. The Mavericks improved their transition defense and limited the Bulls to just 39% shooting in the first half. With this win, Dallas aims to finish their home stand positively against the Phoenix Suns.
