MAVS 107, BULLS 117

[KillerLeft]

Predictable. Better team, better coach, more momentum, playing at home. 

I'm actually not that upset, really. You could tell Chicago expected to pull away early, and that the Mavs' runs in the 1st and 2nd surprised them a bit. 

Honestly, if you would've told me Luka was going to play like that I'd have envisioned it being a much worse game. 

Nobody is shooting well, except for Hardaway (kind of). Luka does not look like Luka yet (I'm betting he will start playing better at some point). 

Porzingis didn't play as well as he did in the last two - way, way, WAY too many forced turnaround bricks for my taste, but he's showing signs of shooting the catch-and-shoot ball better and he's moving well enough. I was a little disappointed in his on-ball defense against Vucevic and his rebounding left much to be desired, but overall it was still a better performance than I expected from him at any point this season. 

7-4 is not a bad place to be, considering how this team is playing right now.
