Chicago (3-3) at Portland (2-3), 10:00 pm EST
PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- After a four-day layoff, the
Portland Trail Blazers get back to work Wednesday with a home
game against the Chicago Bulls.
The Trail Blazers have not played since Friday's 84-81 defeat to
Detroit - their first loss in three home games this season.
Darius Miles, who scored 23 points, is averaging a career-best
21.6 points in what is proving to be a breakout seventh season.
Zach Randolph added 21 points for his third straight 20-point
game but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer in the waning
seconds.
Chicago is coming off a 100-82 loss at Golden State on Monday in
the opener of a six-game road trip. Andres Nocioni scored a
season-high 17 points as the only Bulls starter to score in
double figures.
Jannero Pargo scored 12 points to lead Chicago's bench, which
outscored the starters, 50-32.
The Bulls won both meetings against the Trail Blazers last
season after Portland won the two games in the previous
campaign.
