After Action Report
The Bulls edged the Trail Blazers 111-105. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
