The Portland Trail Blazers entered their Sunday night contest versus the Chicago Bulls losers of five straight, looking like a team on the road to nowhere. The trip took a detour in this game. After a first quarter of all-too-familiar futility, Portland’s bench unit provided a spark in the second quarter that ignited into a full-on flame. When the smoke cleared, Portland ran away from Chicago with a 113-102 victory.
Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 27 points. Five Blazers scored 15 or more points led by Scoot Henderson with 25 and Shaedon Sharpe with 23.
