After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Bulls 111-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
