The Trail Blazers (9 - 3) extended their winning streak to six games Friday, knocking off the Bulls (8 - 5) 105 - 87.

The advantage reached 18 points by halftime, and Portland extended the lead to 24 in the second half.

Wes Mathews added 12 points, and Robin Lopez finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. Portland got 25 points from its bench, which played most of the second half, led by 10 points from Chris Kaman and nine from second - year guard Allen Crabbe. The Trail Blazers shot nearly 50 percent from the floor, while holding the Bulls to 36 percent shooting. Portland also outscored Chicago in the paint 48 - 28. The Bulls, who were again without Derrick Rose (hamstring), struggled to get production from their starting five, which combined for only 37 points on 13 - of - 44 shooting. Aaron Brooks, starting in place of Rose, was the only starter in double figures, finishing with 12 points to go with three assists.
