After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Bulls 117-108. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Bulls. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
