After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls demolished the Trail Blazers 123-102. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
