After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Bulls 121-111. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
