After Action Report
The Trail Blazers knocked off the Bulls 102-99. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Bulls stayed locked in. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
