After Action Report
In Chicago, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Bulls 126-116. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
