CHICAGO — – Jerami Grant<\/a> scored 27 points and the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> held on for a 121-112 victory over Chicago on Thursday night, sending the Bulls to their 11th straight loss.<\/p>\n

Toumani Camara<\/a> scored 16 points, Robert Williams III<\/a> had 14 points and 14 rebounds and Vit Krejci<\/a> also scored 14 points for the Trail Blazers, who were without All-Star Deni Avdija<\/a> (back) for the second straight game.<\/p>\n

Matas Buzelis<\/a> scored 20 points to lead the Bulls, who matched the third-longest losing streak in franchise history. Chicago has dropped 11 straight games in February since last winning against Miami on Jan. 31.<\/p>\n

Tre Jones<\/a> had 19 points as the Bulls fell to 0-5 on their seven-game homestand. Josh Giddey<\/a> scored 15 points and had nine assists and Nick Richards<\/a> had 14 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n

In a game that featured 17 lead changes and 13 ties, Portland pulled away in the fourth quarter to take a 15-point advantage – its biggest of the game – at 105-90 on two free throws by Blake Wesley<\/a> with 9:02 remaining.<\/p>\n

But Chicago scored the next seven points before Camara broke the Bulls’ run with two free throws that made it 107-97 with 5:16 left. The Bulls kept coming, though, and cut their deficit to three at 108-105 on a cutting dunk by Leonard Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grant made a 3-pointer to open a 13-7 closing run by the Trail Blazers, who got a pair of free throws from Camara, Jrue Holiday<\/a> and Grant to seal the win.<\/p>\n
