Catching up on the events at AAC last night, the Mavs outscored Chicago 20-9 in the last six mins to win 114-105, for their first 4-0 start since 2004. Grant Williams tied his career high w/ 25 pts. Luka was held to 18. They were 2-11 last yr when he played & scored less than 25. – 10:39 AM

Alex Caruso breaks down what the Bulls defense learned from their first attempt at a trap defensive scheme this year.
Bulls limited Luka Dončić to 18 points on 5-for-16 shooting. He was averaging 39 ppg coming into tonight. pic.twitter.com/7yjZAPaLxy – 12:00 AM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
The Bulls’ defensive game plan against Luka Dončić was solid. But they allowed too many 2nd-chance points and Grant Williams and Tim Hardaway Jr. combined for 14 3-pointers.

Mavs pull it out 114-105.
First clutch loss of the season for the Bulls. That’s a frustrating one – nearly stole one on the road with Kyrie Irving out for the Mavs.
LaVine led scoring with 22 points but only scored five in the second half. – 10:47 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Mavericks trying to gut this one out. First time in a while Luka hasn’t been the leading scorer, easily. He’s got 16-8-6 with 3:22 to go. Mavericks are up 100-98. – 10:39 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Nice defense by Grant Williams and Luka to blow up the ATO from the Bulls.
Looks like they were trying to get into that “two side” action with DeMar coming off the stagger, Grant denied the pass and Luka pressured the ball well. The Bulls had to improvise and turned it over. pic.twitter.com/w0nV4hxb49 – 10:38 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Non-Luka Mavs did pretty well to hang in here. When Doncic left for a rest with 5:52 left it was 68-68. It’s now 83-81 Chicago entering the fourth.
Considering Doncic had played 28 of the first 30 minutes, he badly needed that rest entering the 4th. He’s scored only 12 points. – 10:16 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
It took until the fourth game, but the 2023-24 Luka Doncic technical foul counter has started. – 9:55 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Luka doing a great job of attacking away from the middle to try and make the double-team harder. Caruso back in now, as Donovan continues moving chess pieces around. – 9:53 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
22 first-half minutes for Doncic. Too many. And what does Dallas have to show for it? A 50-49 deficit. – 9:35 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Zach LaVine has outscored Luka Doncic 17-8 and #Bulls lead Mavs 50-49 at halftime. LaVine is 5-for-6 from 3; Vucevic 11 rebs, 8 pts. – 9:34 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Bulls up 1 at half and doing as well defensively against Doncic as you can—and Doncic still has 8-6-5. But Bulls’ D and gameplan has been solid for one half. – 9:33 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers now have the draft stash rights to:
Vladimir Veremeenko (2006 2nd round)
Luka Mitrovic (2015 2nd round)
Vanja Marinkovic (2019 2nd round)
Balša Koprivica (2021 2nd round) – 9:26 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
The good news for the Mavs is they only trail by two despite Doncic scoring only 6 points and shooting 1-of-6.
The potential bad news is Doncic is shooting 1-for-6. – 9:21 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Caruso and Carter double-teaming and blitzing Luka whenever he brings the ball up … messing with the offensive timing. Yes, the corner three is open, but it’s definitely “someone else is beating us.” – 9:12 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
“Oh, my God!” Doncic exclaimed when they showed the replay. I could hear him clearly in part because it’s pretty quiet in here. Stands are nearly full but many people watching Rangers on their phones. – 9:05 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Point guard 101: Doncic rewards his running big man, Lively, with a nice bounce pass. – 8:47 PM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Asked Lawrence Frank how he sees James Harden enhancing/fitting in with Kawhi, PG and Russ and Frank said the Clippers looked at the time Harden spent in Brooklyn playing alongside KD and Kyrie — albeit short amount of time — and how Harden also adjusted as playmaker with Embiid – 8:26 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Was going to move the Bulls to bum-team alert tonight – their first of the season – but without Kyrie, they will avoid that designation. Saturday in Denver, however, forget bum-team alert, the Bulls could be put on bum-ass team alert. Stay tuned … situation is fluid. – 7:29 PM

For Mavs vs Bulls, J-Kidd says Kyrie Irving is out again tonight with a sprained left foot… – 7:26 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Mavs G Kyrie Irving (foot) is out again against Bulls tonight.
Jason Kidd: “Hopefully, he’s day to day. He’s getting his treatment. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.” – 6:53 PM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Kyrie Irving (left foot sprain) is expected to miss his second straight game for Dallas when the Mavericks play host to Chicago tonight. Irving’s status was officially downgraded to doubtful earlier today.
More NBA from me: marcstein.Substack.com – 6:35 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Kyrie Irving downgraded to doubtful tonight.
Zach LaVine is probable, said he was good to go this morning. Back injury happened during a collision with Poeltl in the Raptors game. He’s been using heat packs a lot this week, but he’s still not worried about it long term. – 5:57 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Per @NBA injury report: Mavs list Kyrie Irving as doubtful for tonight vs CHI with his sprained left foot. 7:00 pre. 7:40 tip @971TheFreak – 2:19 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Kyrie Irving now listed as DOUBTFUL vs Bulls ( left foot). 7:15 CT pre. @670TheScore and @chicagobulls radio network. Bulls look to go 3-2 on the young season and hand Dallas its first loss. – 1:59 PM

As the Rangers try to exorcise their 52 yr old demon, the Mavs try to do something theyve not done in only 19 yrs: Start out 4-0. as they take on CHI. What does Luka have in store? Which role player steps up on this night? @PeasRadio pre at 7. tip w/Brad & me at 7:40 @971TheFreak – 11:50 AM
