"Every loss these guys take to heart. It was a hard fought game; give them credit. They made a few more plays than we did.” - Boylen
The Bulls fought to the end against the Trail Blazers, but fell short after failing to obtain the defensive rebound in the closing seconds.
Bulls coach Jim Boylen late Friday night in Portland was talking about the Bulls' narrow 107-103 loss to the Trailblazers, a game in which the Bulls just about went the distance and effectively lost to an offensive rebound with 8.8 seconds left.
Boylen almost crumpled with disappointment staggering onto the floor to call timeout as the Hassan Whiteside tip of a Damian Lillard miss fell through the netting to leave the Bulls four points behind.
