After Action Report
The Bulls ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 141-121. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls steamroller is in full effect right now; Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
