他们明天将回到主场对上达拉斯小牛，小牛正在进行一段客场之旅。
As he has all season, Jimmy Butler carried the Bulls (11-6) on their trip.
The shooting guard averaged 26.3 points over the final four games - 4.4
better than his season average. He already has 11 games with at least 20
points after totaling nine in his first three seasons in the league.
如同本季其他的比赛，Jimmy Butler担负起公牛在客场之旅的重担，他
在最后四场比赛平均得到26.3分，比起本季平均高了4.4分。生涯前三季
只有9场比赛得分破20的他，本季已经有11场比赛得分在20分以上。
Butler is fourth in the league in scoring among guards and his 49.8 field
goal percentage ranks sixth.
Butler的场均得分在联盟后卫排行第四，49.8%的命中率排第六。
"I think my teammates just find me in great positions to score the ball,"
Butler said. "I think I strive at just doing whatever it takes to help my
team win. Scoring, guarding, facilitating, whatever it might be. I'm just a
winner. I don't care about stats."
Butler说："我想这只是因为队友们都在适合的位置把球给我，我只是希
望帮助球队赢球，做好得分、防守、传导的工作，我只是想要赢球，数据
不是重点。"
Butler and the Bulls downed Brooklyn on Sunday 102-84, soliciting
contributions from Pau Gasol (25 points, 13 rebounds), Nikola Mirotic (12 and
12) and, most notably, Derrick Rose, who has now started four games in a row
for the first time since Nov. 16-22, 2013.
公牛昨天以102-84打败布鲁克林篮网，战绩来到11胜6败，表现优异的包括
Pau Gasol的25分13篮板，Nikola Mirotic的12分12篮板，以及自从2013年
11月以来不曾连续四场比赛先发的Derrick Rose。
"I think that was our best game throughout the entire trip," Rose said.
"Coming here and ending like this, we have nothing but great vibes from it.
We did a lot of positive things out there. We came together as a team
defensively."
Rose说："我认为这是我们整个客场之旅打得最好的一场，以这场胜利作结
尾再好不过了。我们在很多面相做得很好，团队防守也很棒。"
Brooklyn's scoring total marked the lowest output the Bulls allowed since
they beat New York 104-80 in the season opener.
昨天公牛只让篮网得到84分，是自开幕战以104-80打败纽约尼克之后，失
分最低的一场比赛。
Dallas (13-5) promises a fierce challenge for Chicago's defensive unit, as it
averages a league-best 109.1 points.
13胜5败的小牛将是公牛防守组的一大考验，因为他们以平均109.1分的火力
居于联盟宝座。
The Mavericks have lived and died through their offense, posting a 13-0
record in games where they score more than 100 points and an 0-5 record in
games with 100 or fewer. They continued that trend Saturday with a 110-103
win over Philadelphia, led by Tyson Chandler's 20 point, 13-rebound
performance.
小牛的攻击火力就是他们的生命线，以100分作为分水岭，只要得分超过100
分，小牛是13胜0败，如果在100分以下时则是5战全败。前天他们延续这样的
表现，以110-103客场打败费城76人，表现最佳的是Tyson Chandler的20分13
篮板。
"(Chandler) was terrific," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We had a lot of guys
that stepped up."
小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："Chandler打得太棒了，这战有很多人跳出来。"
The victory gave Dallas its third win in a row and ninth in its last 11
contests. The Mavericks held the 76ers to 17 points on 26.3 percent shooting
in the final period, signifying what the team hopes is increased execution on
defense. Dallas ranks in the bottom half of the NBA with 100.1 points allowed
per game.
小牛拿下了最近的三连胜，同时也是近11场比赛的第9胜。小牛让76人在第四
节只拿到17分，命中率26.3%，证明了他们想要拼防守的决心。小牛的场均失
分以100.1分排在联盟后半段。
"The best compliment you can give our guys is they played a game where they
kept their poise," Carlisle said. "(They) limited the number of runs and
limited the number of times the crowd got into it."
卡帅说："我觉得他们做得最好的就是稳定地做好防守，当观众开始鼓譟时，
他们还是把防守做好，并压低失分。"
The Mavericks, winners of five of six on the road, close their four-game trip
in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
小牛拿下最近六次客场作战当中的五胜，后天他们的客场之旅将在密尔瓦基
告终。
Nowitzki is expected to return to Dallas' lineup after getting Saturday off
to rest, but Jameer Nelson (back) and Raymond Felton (ankle) remain
questionable. Devin Harris has started the last three games in their absence.
Dirk Nowitzki前天因为休息缺战，明天预计会上场，但是背部抽筋的Jameer
Nelson与脚踝受伤的Raymond Felton依旧状况未定，Devin Harris已经因此
连续获得三场先发。
Chicago will be without Taj Gibson as he nurses an ankle injury.
公牛的Taj Gibson因为脚踝伤势将缺席明天的比赛。
Dallas and Chicago are tied 33-33 in their all-time series. The Bulls won the
most recent meeting 100-91 on Feb. 28 in Dallas.
小牛与公牛的历史对战成绩是33胜33败平手，两军最近一次交手是在2月28日，
