Mavs Win 6th Straight with Win Over 1st Place Chicago Bulls



The surging Dallas Mavericks extended their win streak to six games with  113-98 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Dallas--

Key Points

  • Luka Doncic had a triple-double (22 points, 14 boards, 14 dimes).
  • Josh Green and Maxi Kleber have season-high 18 points.
  • Assistant Sean Sweeney gets his second win in relief of Jason Kidd.



The best way to follow-up a win over the #1 team in the Western Conference is by beating the #1 team in the Eastern Conference.

The Chicago Bulls came to Dallas with a nine-game win streak that included two clutch game-winning performances by Demar Derozan. He and Zach Lavine were limited to 20 points each due to the Mavs suffocating defense that has grown into one of the leagues best.

"The togetherness combined with the effort has been really, really strong as of late. We're doing a real good job of understanding what the plan is and then, if there isn't something that we prepared for, cover for each other when it's needed." - Coach Sean Sweeney

Kristaps Porzingis missed his fifth game in the health and safety protocols. The Mavs travel to the big apple to play the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
