After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Bulls 112-84. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
