After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Bulls 119-95. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
