After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Trail Blazers 99-87. Bulls' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
