Barea starts the 2nd quarter and makes a great defensive play against a streaking Derrick Rose on a fast break. On the offensive end he plays scrappy and gets the Mavs down by only 4. Shawn Marion is the first Mav to score in the paint with a dunk and a lay-up. The Bulls react and start an offense explosion leading to an 11pt lead with 8:22 left. The Mavs have yet to make a 3pt basket. Marion keeps Mavs close with 8 quick pts off the bench. Even Rose on the bench the Bulls seem to hold a lead, now by 10 with 4:13 left. J Kidd makes the Mavs first 3pt shot, finally! In attempt to play the Bulls in zone coverage they have had 3 illegal defense calls so far. Dirk pulls them within 6 with 2mins left. They are able to cut the lead down to only 4. Bulls Lead 39-34...
The Mavs a shooting on 39% field goal percentage and even worse from the 3pt line with only one made. The defense in the paint has been terrible.
