Bulls open West Coast trip without DeRozan, but face depleted Portland lineup. McGrawDHSports chicagobulls
The Bulls season seemed like a lost cause when they limped into the all-star break without DeMar DeRozan and lugging a six-game losing streak.
So the Bulls took care of business with a routine 124-96 victory, their fifth-straight road win. Zach LaVine scored 33 points, drained 6 of 9 3-pointers and was able to sit out the entire fourth. Center Nikola Vucevic added 23 points and 15 rebounds. Coby White had one of his best stat lines of the season with 19 points and 9 assists.

Friday's game was tied 26-26 after one quarter, but the Bulls pulled out to a 61-45 lead at halftime thanks to some hot long-range shooting. They went 8-for-9 from 3-point land in the first half, including 4-for-4 by LaVine, who buried a 3 at the buzzer to end the second quarter.
