CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Coby White<\/a> scored 22 points, Ayo Dosunmu<\/a> had 20 and the Chicago Bulls<\/a> beat the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> 125-107 on Saturday night to snap a three-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

The Bulls put seven players in double figures, outscored the Mavericks 38-8 in fast-break points and never trailed. Nikola Vucevic<\/a> and Matas Buzelis<\/a> each added 15 points as Chicago shot 51.5% from the field. <\/p>\n

The Mavericks began the game without the injured Anthony Davis<\/a> and lost coach Jason Kidd midway through the first quarter of it after he was ejected for arguing with referee Scott Foster. <\/p>\n

Ryan Nembhard<\/a> had 16 points and six assists for the Mavericks. Rookie star Cooper Flagg<\/a> finished with just 11 points and one rebound, shooting 4 for 13.<\/p>\n

Dallas lost its second straight after winning two in a row. Davis sustained ligament damage in his left hand in the Mavericks\u2019 loss to Utah on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kidd appeared to be angry he wasn\u2019t allowed to challenge a goaltending call against Max Christie<\/a>. Foster called two technical fouls and ejected Kidd.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks trailed by eight at the end of the period and the game got away from them in the second. A 13-2 run extended a seven-point lead to 59-41 on Buzelis\u2019 fast-break layup with about four minutes remaining in the half.<\/p>\n

The Bulls blew it open in the fourth, with a 21-4 surge turning a 10-point game into a 115-88 lead, their biggest of the game.<\/p>\n
