After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Bulls 114-99. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
