Former Bull Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace and Dale Davis contributed 13 points apiece for Portland, which has won 10 of its last 12. The Trail Blazers, who are averaging 111 points in their last five home games, improved to 14-1 when they score 100 or more points.

"This was a tough game for us," Portland coach Maurice Cheeks said. "After a tough loss at Utah (on Saturday) you have to worry about games like this."

Brad Miller scored 21 points and Ron Artest had 16, but Chicago fell to 1-3 on its five-game road trip. The Bulls have lost six of their last eight games.

"I thought Portland was playing well. We knew they were playing well coming in," Chicago coach Bill Cartwright said. "I thought their half-court trap in the first half bothered us and got us out of sync. It's tough to come back against that team. We had our opportunities. I would have liked to have seen us try to attack the basket a little more and get to the free throw line, but it didn't happen. We either missed a shot or they came down and hit a big shot, so I'm not displeased with how the guys competed."

The Trail Blazers gained control in the second quarter with a 19-2 run. Another former Bull, Steve Kerr, had eight points in the spurt, which he capped with a running jumper that gave Portland a 48-32 lead with 3:46 left in the period.

"Our bench gave us the lead we were looking for in the second quarter and that won the game," Cheeks said. "Our players need to be commended for where they're at and how they responded. It would have been easy to lose our self control but we didn't. We play with a lot of heart and a lot of character and sometimes those positive things need to be talked about."

Chicago got as close as 70-65 in the third on Eddie Robinson's three-point play with 4:26 left, but Portland responded with an 8-2 spurt to restore its lead to double digits and took an 82-71 advantage into the fourth quarter.

Artest's 3-pointer pulled the Bulls within 97-93, with 49 seconds remaining, but Stoudamire answered with a basket with 31 seconds left and added a pair of free throws 10 seconds later.

After Artest missed a 3-pointer with 16 seconds to go, Robinson hit a long-range jumper, but it came with less than a second remaining and Chicago lost to Portland for the sixth straight time.

"I took a lot of bad shots tonight," said Artest, who was 7-of-19 from the field. "We only lost by five. We could have won this easily. It wasn't their terrific defense; we just didn't come back. We didn't attack them enough. We didn't have as much energy tonight as we did on the first game of this road trip."

Kevin Ollie had career highs of 15 points and 11 assists and Robinson finished with 14 points for the Bulls, who owned a five-point lead in the first quarter. They shot 46 percent (39-of-85) but were outrebounded, 47-35.

Pippen dished out eight assists and Davis grabbed 11 rebounds, but it was the play of Portland's bench that was the key to victory.

Ruben Patterson scored 11 points, Kerr added 10, Chris Dudley pulled down eight rebounds and Rick Brunson had six assists for the Blazers, who shot 51 percent (38-of-75).

"Tonight the bench -- Dudley, Patterson, Rick Brunson and Kerr -- really gave us some energy and some great defensive play during that (second-quarter) run," Portland coach Maurice Cheeks said. "Steve finally hit some shots. He's been looking for those for a few games now."
