Thanks to a late three-pointer by Ayo Dosunmu, the Bulls held off the Trail Blazers and concluded the West Coast road trip 1-2.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Bulls coach Billy Donovan has conversations with injured guard Zach LaVine almost daily.

The main topic of those talks? That’s where Donovan treads lightly. He made it clear Sunday that talking about trade rumors with LaVine hasn’t been on the table.

‘‘I haven’t talked to him about anything with the rumor piece of it,’’ Donovan said before the Bulls’ 104-96 victory against the Trail Blazers.
