Luol Deng missed from deep on a three-point attempt as time expired as the Bulls fell to the Blazers, 98-95, at the Moda Center. Portland erased a 21-point first half deficit. Wes Matthews continued his torrid start knocking down four threes on his way to 28 points, while Damian Lillard added 20 and six assists. Robin Lopez grabbed 16 rebounds with 13 points for the Blazers, who improved to 11-and-2. They've won nine straight. Chicago guard Derrick Rose left the game in the third quarter with a right knee injury and couldn't put weight on that leg. Rose missed all of last season after needing surgery on his left knee. He scored 20 points on 6-of-19 shooting in 28 minutes. The Bulls are 6-and-5.
