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.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
