Bulls-Trail Blazers Preview

With their six-game winning streak snapped, the Chicago Bulls will look to bounce back with a better all-around effort against the Portland Trail Blazers.

They haven't had many strong efforts in Portland lately.

The 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 (34-15) 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.

The 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.

"I couldn't get a feel for the game because they didn't let me," said Rose, who had scored at least 20 points in each of his previous 10 games. "I couldn't get to the hole. It was hard but I'll figure it out. It's just something we have to look at on film and see who's the open guy."

Carlos Boozer, who missed a 110-98 home victory Nov. 1 over the Blazers due to a hand injury, had 21 points and 10 rebounds Saturday and is seeking a season-best fifth straight double-double.

Fellow 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 (27-24) 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.

"There's pressure playing against every team, but, of course, there's added pressure with them struggling the way they are," said Portland point guard Andre Miller, who had 13 assists. "You don't want to be the top headline: 'Streak ends to Portland Trail Blazers.' Guys took a little pride in that."

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.

Aldridge is averaging 29.7 points and shooting 63.8 percent during his last three matchups with the Bulls.

Portland has dropped lost two of three overall home games while averaging 86.0 points - 9.5 below its season mark.

Aldridge has 42 points in Blazers' win over Bulls

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) LaMarcus Aldridge scored so easily against Chicago that he allowed himself a broad smile and a few high-fives from teammates before the game was even over.

"It was fun," he said after putting up a career-high 42 points Monday night in the Portland Trail Blazers' 109-103 victory over the Bulls.

So was there a little I-told-you-so feeling after not being selected for the All-Star game? No, Aldridge insisted.

"Me getting 42 tonight isn't going to change their mind, so what is it going to do for me?" he said. "I thought tonight I just came out and got those easy dunks early and that was my big thing that got me going."

Derrick Rose had 36 points for the Bulls, who lost their second straight. He was blunt about the problem.

"I think our offense is there, but defensively we're terrible right now," he said.

Chicago, which has not lost three in a row this season, visits the Jazz on Tuesday.

Aldridge's 20-foot jumper with 1:11 left made it 100-93 and appeared to seal it for the Blazers, but Rose answered with a 3-pointer with just more than a minute to go.

Aldridge hit a turnaround jumper and Andre Miller made a pair of free throws with 30 seconds left to make it 104-96. Luol Deng had a reverse layup on the other end, but the Bulls could not catch up.

"Every aspect of the defense was missing. This is two games in a row we've put ourselves in a bad position by not guarding," Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said.

Miller finished with 27 points and 11 assists, and he was 13 of 13 from the free throw line. The Blazers outrebounded the Bulls 41-31 and made 37 free throws to Chicago's 11.

The Bulls (34-16) were coming off a 101-90 loss at Golden State that snapped a six-game winning streak. They dropped to 11-12 on the road.

"We're fine, we're fine," Deng said. "We know what the problem is. We've just got to fix it."

The injury-depleted Blazers were short again because forward Dante Cunningham fractured his right eye socket Saturday in Portland's 111-105 victory at Cleveland. Cunningham wore special eye gear and was listed as probable against the Bulls, but did not play.

Just before the game, Brandon Roy told The Oregonian newspaper that he could return to the lineup as early as this weekend. The three-time All-Star had arthroscopic surgery on both knees three weeks ago. The team said Roy was cleared to return to practice.

Roy watched Monday night's game on the bench dressed in street clothes, as did center Marcus Camby, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Jan. 20.

Afterward, coach Nate McMillan said Roy and Camby will practice this week, but their return is uncertain. The Blazers play at Toronto on Friday.

"So I get a chance to practice this week and if there's no setbacks I think there's a chance I'll play this weekend," Roy said.

The Bulls went on a 9-0 run to open the second quarter, capped by Ronnie Brewer's layup to make it 35-28. Portland took the lead at 44-43 after Rudy Fernandez hit a pair of free throws and it was back and forth for the rest of the half.

Wesley Matthews scored on a fast-break dunk off an off-balance, one-handed hurl from Fernandez that made it 50-49, but Rose made one of two free throws as time wound down and the game was tied at halftime.

The Blazers came out strong in the second half, going up 63-56 early after Aldridge's dunk. He had 16 points in the third quarter alone.

The Bulls pulled within 75-64 early in the fourth on Deng's jumper, but the Blazers extended it again when Fernandez hit a 3-pointer to make it 80-74.

Brewer's dunk narrowed it to 82-81 with 7:20 left but Chicago was unable to go ahead. Rose had a decisive dunk that pulled the Bulls to 91-87, but again the Blazers kept Chicago at bay.

Aldridge's alley-oop dunk from Miller put Portland up 98-91 with 2:17 left.

The Blazers (28-24) have won two straight, but just three of their last seven.

Notes: Oregon basketball coach Dana Altman was at the game. Altman coached Chicago's Kyle Korver at Creighton in Nebraska. ... Portland shot 78.6 percent from the floor in the first quarter, but led just 28-26. ... Aldridge had 40 points in the Blazers' last game at home, a 99-86 victory over San Antonio. ... Chicago has lost four straight and 11 of their last 13 at the Rose Garden.

Bulls-Trail Blazers Notebook

By Kerry Eggers, for NBA.com
Posted Tuesday February 8, 2011 1:56AM

THE FACTS: LaMarcus Aldridge scored a career-high 42 points to lift the Portland Trail Blazers (28-24) past Chicago 109-103 Monday night at the Rose Garden. Derrick Rose had 36 points and six assists for the Bulls (34-16), who have begun their four-game road trip 0-2.

QUOTABLE: "All-Star. That's all I can say."
- Joel Przybilla on Aldridge, who did not make the All-Star team.

THE STAT: Portland was 37 for 40 (.925) from the free-throw line, a season-high for made foul shots. Chicago was 11 for 18 at the line.

TURNING POINT: The Blazers led 84-83 with six minutes left when Rudy Fernandez touched off a 7-0 run with a driving reverse layup and three free throws when he was fouled in the act of shooting a 3-pointer. The resulting eight-point cushion was key.

QUOTABLE II: "Maybe back in high school, when everybody was 5-foot and I was 6-9."
- Aldridge, asked if he has ever notched career scoring highs three times in three weeks, as he has done the last three weeks in going from 37 to 40 to 42.

HOT: Aldridge was 15 for 23 from the field, scoring on an array of post moves, dunk shots off lob passes and jumpers from the perimeter.

NOT: It was a rough shooting night for Portland's Wesley Matthews, who was 3 for 12 from the field.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Portland's Andre Miller had one of his greatest games in a Blazer uniform, collecting 27 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and four steals in 42 minutes. Miller was 7 for 11 from the field and 13 for 13 from the foul line.

INSIDE THE ARENA: University of Oregon coach Dana Altman was in the house to watch Chicago's Kurt Korver, who played for him at Creighton.

GOOD MOVE: Portland coach Nate McMillan chose to sit Dante Cunningham, who fractured an eye socket in Saturday's win at Cleveland but was listed as "probable" before the game. The Blazers won, anyway, and it gave Cunningham some time off before he returns to action Friday at Toronto.

BAD MOVE: Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau chose to single-cover Aldridge, mostly with Carlos Boozer, much of the night. Aldridge had a career game.

ROOKIE WATCH: Omar Asik, Chicago's 7-footer from Turkey, provided some good minutes off the bench with nine points and five rebounds.

NOTABLE: McMillan basically went with a six-man rotation, with only Fernandez getting more than six minutes off the bench.

UP NEXT: For the Blazers, at Toronto Friday, at Detroit Sunday, at Minnesota Monday. For the Bulls, at Utah Wednesday, at New Orleans Saturday.
