Chicago forward Luol Deng is likely looking forward to Monday, as he surpassed his previous career high of 38 points - which came in a 100-89 win March 26, 2007 against Portland - with a 40-point performance in the Nov. 1 win. The Blazers return home after closing out their three-game trip Saturday with a 111-105 victory at Cleveland, handing the Cavaliers an NBA-record 24th consecutive loss. Wesley Matthews went 5 of 7 from 3-point range en route to 31 points while LaMarcus Aldridge registered his fourth double-double in five games with 20 points and 10 rebounds against the Cavs.
Bulls, who dropped to 2-10 when surrendering more than 100 points, need to clamp down on defense if they want to slow down Portland, which has averaged 112.7 points during its three-game home winning streak in the series. Chicago has lost the last two by an average of 33.0 points. Derrick Rose went 6 of 15 from the floor Saturday to finish with 14 points - his fewest since scoring a season-low six Dec. 15. Bulls hope to avoid their fourth consecutive loss at the Rose Garden and their 10th in 12 visits when they continue their five-game road trip versus the Blazers on Monday night. Chicago had limited opponents to 84.3 points per game and 40.3-percent shooting during its six-game winning streak, which came to an end Saturday night with a 101-90 loss at Golden State.
