The Chicago Bulls started their five-game motel swing west in Portland, Oregon tonight as they had to see both Dame Lillard and C.J. McCollum and it is what it is. Behind the former Lehigh University Standout McCollum goes for a game-high 24 points shooting 10 for 14 with Dame dropping 16 points with ten dimes as Portland walks away with a convincing 124-112 victory.Bulls hung close throughout as they were down 56-51 at the break and 95-85 after three. Bulls Rookie Wendell Carter Jr. continues to impress with a team-high 22 points and six boards with Zach LaVine adding 18 and Kriss Dunn 15.
It was the Bulls "D" that let them down as Rip City shot nearly 57% from the field and 42% from the arc and nearly 91% from the stripe. The Bulls Bench Mob played well as Bobby Portis led with 15 and Antonio Blakeney a dozen. Portland outscored that Bulls Bench Mob 56-41 as Portland gets a bench leading 17 points from Seth Curry.
Chicago falls to 10-31 while Rip City moves to 25-17...
