Aldridge and Lillard show in Portland defeat the Bulls 99-89

The Portland Trailblazers are in a chase to try and catch the Los Angeles Lakers in the eighth spot. They currently trail the Lakers by 3 and a half games for the eighth spot. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard played awesome last night against the Chicago Bulls. LaMarucs Aldridge scored 28 points and 8 rebounds on 14 of 23 shooting. Aldridge lead the Trailblazers to defeat the Bulls 99-89. Possible although I believe he has it on lock rookie of the year Damian Lillard scored 24 points, had 7 assists and 4 rebounds while shooting 9 out of 17 from the field. Nicolas Batum added 11 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, Wesley Matthews also added 11 points. For the Chicago Bulls Joakim Noah lead the Bulls in scoring with 18 points. Noah also had 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Carlos Boozer scored a double double. Boozer had 16 points and 11 rebounds. Taj Gibson added 14 points and 9 rebounds off the bench. Jimmy Butler added 12 points and 4 rebounds off the bench. I really am waiting for the return of Derrick Rose for the Bulls. The Bulls offense is very lacking without him there but that is just my opinion. Noah to me is the second option for the Bulls but now since Rose injury is the first in my opinion.
