After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Trail Blazers 118-86. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
