The Bulls shocked the Trail Blazers 104-102. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
