After Action Report
The Bulls took care of the Trail Blazers 103-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
