After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Bulls 107-86. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
