After Action Report
The Bulls handled the Trail Blazers 105-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
