LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 points and Travis Outlaw scored all 13 of his points in the second half, when the Trail Blazers rallied from an 11-point deficit.

Bulls 102, Cavaliers 93 (OT)
CHICAGO ó Luol Deng scored 22 points and Derrick Rose finished with 16.
Tied at 87 after LeBron James’ 18-footer banged off the rim at the end of regulation, the Bulls scored 12 of the first 13 points in OT.
James shot 8-for-28 and had 28 points. Cavs guard Delonte West fractured his right wrist during a nasty collision with Rose.
West tried to block Rose’s layup from behind, and both players crashed to the court. West stayed down clutching his wrist. He also had a cut above his left eye that required two stitches.
