Bulls upset Mavericks in close game, Kyrie Irving out with injury.
The Chicago Bulls defeated the Dallas Mavericks 115-112 in a comeback victory, with Coby White posting a near triple-double for the Bulls. The Mavericks' season is over as they are eliminated from the NBA Play-In Tournament. A.J. Lawson impressed for Dallas and the back-bench players showed no quit, but the team's decision to sit half the team while still being mathematically in the playoffs was criticized.
