After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Bulls 117-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
