After Action Report
The Bulls fended off the Trail Blazers 124-118. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
