After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers survived the Bulls 110-109. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
