Monday was quite the welcome-home party for the Bulls after a 3-1 West Coast trip.
It started with a 44-point ‘‘present’’ in the first quarter, courtesy of the Mavericks. By midway through the third quarter, Mavs star Luka Doncic already had a triple-double.
The icing on the cake, however, was the final buzzer in the Bulls’ 127-92 loss, marking the real cause for celebration: The game was over.
