I got the Bulls going 3-2 on this upcoming road trip. Considering who it’s against, you take that with a huge smile. – 9:29 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
LaVine usually takes technical FTs. He gave that one to Vucevic after the illegal defense call and smiled when Vucevic sank it. – 9:25 PM

Steve Nash says,
“It was a solid bounce back game from Chicago — I was happy with it, guys did very well.” – 9:22 PM
Michael Dugat @mdug
Is Luka hurt? Not because of his play (or that’s not why I ask), but it seems like he’s never been smiley tonight after fun plays. – 9:17 PM

Mavs began the game 2-12 and fell behind by 11. Went 9-12 bringing 1st and 2nd and grabbed a 7 pt lead. Ended the half 1-10, and trail CHI 61-54. Mavs now have trailed in 4 of their five road games at half time by 7,6, 10 and 7. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas9:14 PM

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls have done a pretty nice job on Luka Doncic so far; he has 8 points and 4 assists, shooting 2-9 from field, at halftime. Bulls lead 61-54. Been a collective effort, but Lonzo Ball and Javonte Green had nice on-ball possessions on Doncic late in second – 9:10 PM

Mavs coach Jason Kidd, who knows a thing or two about improving his 3-ball, told me this about Lonzo Ball’s improvement.

Mavericks make seven of their last 10 shots of the first quarter and somehow are up 33-32 going into the second. Jalen Brunson once again leading a strong push by the Mavericks’ reserves. – 8:42 PM

Mavs lead the Bulls 33-32 after the fist quarter. Jalen leads the Mavs with 8 pts, Luka has 6-3-2. At one point the Bulls were up 24-13 with 4:39 left in the first quarter. – 8:40 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls, in essence, led 26-19 when Luka Doncic checked out with three mins to go in first. Mavs then closed quarter on a 14-6 run (20-8 dating back to 4:12) to lead 33-32 after one – 8:40 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Mavs trailed 24-13, but end the first quarter with a 33-32 lead. Eight points for Brunson and 6 for Doncic. Vucevic has 9 for Chicago. – 8:40 PM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Bobby Portis’ success and improved reputation with the Bucks is a great illustration of the importance of fit for NBA players…
Miscast in NY and Chicago, Portis found a perfect fit in Milwaukee on a roster that accentuates his positive contributions and helps hide his flaws. – 8:34 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Nikola Vucevic follows a strong fourth quarter against Brooklyn with 9 points on 4-7 shooting (1-1 3P) in first against Dallas. Got a couple to fall inside, and stepped out for a PnP 3-pointer off feed from DeMar DeRozan – 8:34 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Mavericks have started 2-of-12 from the field at Chicago. Eight free throws keeping them within range, down 20-13. – 8:26 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Zach LaVine is averging 26.2 points on just 31.8 percent 3-point shooting. That’s well below his career-high of 41.9 percent from last season and his career mark of 38.3 percent. Sank his first tonight. Said he always thinks his next one is going in. – 8:26 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Bulls 20-13..Bulls 5-8 from 3pt range..Bulls came in shooting just 26% from three point range over the last 2 games..the beauty of the NBA. Vucevic 7pts 4 reb. Ball 6pts 2reb. – 8:26 PM

Dwain Price @DwainPrice
A fan behind me just hollered: “Luka, you’ve got great hair.” OK. Not something you expect to hear at a basketball game. – 8:25 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan continues his habit of letting a starter play with two 1st-quarter fouls. LaVine stays in game for now. – 8:22 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Bulls 3-5 -3s..Ball with 2 triples. Bulls 13-8. Dallas 2-10. – 8:18 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Lonzo Ball’s shot is filthy.

Lonzo takes the Luka challenge, while the Bulls start Javonte Green on Porzingis. – 8:12 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Javonte Green goes from guarding 7-foot Durant to 7-3 Porzingis. – 8:11 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
I think it’s cool that Luka fist-bumps all 3 refs before the games starts. Nice. – 8:10 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Too many good defenders to throw at Luka… have never taken Porzingis as a serious threat. Bulls beat a solid Dallas team and prepare to head to Cali! Print it! – 8:09 PM

Big Vooch game on deck. – 8:04 PM

We have Mavs vs Chicago Bulls tonight on Bally Sports. Both teams are 7-3. For Dallas, their best 10 game start since 2014-15. It’s a new era for the Bulls who have had the lowest NBA winning percentage combined over the last 4 seasons (.339) – 7:57 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Is Coby White’s return going to push Ayo out of the rotation? Not initially, says coach Billy Donovan. Expect a 10-man rotation that will weed itself out.

Talk about a third star: 7-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge has 15 points in 9 minutes off the bench for the Nets. He is averaging 12 PPG this season and scored 19 against the Bulls two nights ago. – 7:48 PM

Billy Donovan indicated Coby White likely will be eased into a 10-man rotation initially whenever the guard debuts, which could come on West Coast trip.
Ayo fans, rejoice. – 6:33 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Billy Donovan says he could initially use 10-man rotation when Coby White gets back, presumably including Ayo Dosunmu. Conscious of getting White acclimated after long time away, and has liked Dosunmu’s contributions – 6:32 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
According to Billy Donovan, when Coby White comes back – which could be on this west coast trip – minutes will be impacted for the entire bench. Expect a 10-man rotation to start, and then it will weed itself down. – 6:31 PM
