After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Trail Blazers 117-87. Bulls' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
