After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Bulls 124-83. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
