The Chicago Bulls dominated the Dallas Mavericks, winning 125-107 on Saturday night. Coby White led the way with 22 points, Ayo Dosunmu added 20, and the Bulls' seven players scored in double figures. They outperformed the Mavericks in fast-break points (38-8) and never trailed, showcasing their offensive prowess. Nikola Vucevic and Matas Buzelis each contributed 15 points, with the Bulls shooting an impressive 51.5% from the field. The Mavericks faced challenges early on, starting without Anthony Davis due to injury and losing coach Jason Kidd in the first quarter after he was ejected for arguing with referee Scott Foster. Ryan Nembhard had 16 points and six assists for Dallas, while rookie star Cooper Flagg struggled, scoring just 11 points. The Mavericks' loss marked their second straight after a two-game winning streak, with Davis sustaining ligament damage in his left hand in their previous game against Utah. The game's turning point came in the second quarter, where a 13-2 run extended their lead to 59-41, and the Bulls' strong fourth-quarter performance sealed their victory. The Bulls' next games are against Houston and Brooklyn, while the Mavericks will host Brooklyn before visiting Houston.
