Zach LaVine scored 33 points and the Chicago Bulls dominated the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers 124-96 on Friday night.
Nikola Vucevic added 23 points and 15 rebounds for the Bulls, who have won six of their last eight games and sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings with nine regular-season games remaining.
"I think guys were aggressive. I definitely tried to be aggressive from the beginning, trying to set the tone, and then react from there," LaVine said. "We settled into the game, the ball is moving around, we're getting a lot more open shots, and I think that leads to a lot more 3s." "I thought offensively he was pretty good, defensively he wasn't bad, but tough matchup for him," Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said about Sharpe. "That's the reason I wanted to put him on Zach, he needs to see what it's like in the fire. Zach is a tough matchup for anybody."
"It's not at a point where he can't do anything, he's just trying to work through it right now and just manage it," Bulls coach Billy Donovan said.The Bulls went on a 9-0 run to start the second quarter to go up 35-26. LaVine capped the first half with a 3-pointer to put Chicago up 61-45.
