The fastest way to cut into the Bulls lead is get the ball to Zach Randolph, who is one of the few Trail Blazers that has had success against the tough Chicago defense.

Heading into halftime, the Trail Blazers have dug themselves into a hole here in the Rose Garden. Trailing 45 - 28, Portland has been out-rebounded 28 to 14 and failed to convert Chicago's turnovers into points. The Bulls have turned the ball over 13 times, but it has only led to 12 Trail Blazers points.

Kirk Hinrich has been unreal from the field tonight. The point guard has 15 points on 6 of 8 from the field. The Bulls have also connected on 6 three-pointers, shooting 6 of 9 from deep, which has helped them build their halftime lead. The Trail Blazers are 1 of 6 from beyond the arc.

There's a lot of time left, but the Trail Blazers have to find some offense if they're going to claw their way back into this one. Hopefully the halftime performance by the Oregon State Jam Squad will get the Trail Blazers fired up!
