The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Chicago Bulls, 118-98, at United Center on Wednesday.

The Blazers (47-27) were widely expected to dominate the game against the Bulls (21-55) and that's exactly what happened at United Center, as they controlled the action right from tip-off. Portland quickly jumped to a 27-14 lead in the first half, and they would never relinquish that advantage. The second quarter finished 32-27 and the third one finished 28-24, so by the time of the final 12 minutes, Portland had the game already wrapped up. Chicago won the final quarter by a 33-31 score, but that didn't affect the score since Portland cruised their way to a 20-point win.

Six Portland players finished with a double-digit scoring total but surprisingly, Seth Curry led the way off the bench with 20 points. Rodney Hood had 15 points and Zach Collins added 13 points, meaning most of the heavy scoring was done thanks to the bench players. Damian Lillard finished with 11 points, seven assists and six rebounds. Enes Kanter delivered 13 points and six boards. Al-Farouq Aminu had 12 points and 11 boards.

Six Chicago players scored over 10 points. Shaquille Harrison led the way with a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Wayne Selden had 11 points, 12 boards and four assists.
