After Action Report

The Bulls rolled past the Trail Blazers 114-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
