Kirk Hinrich had 21 points and 12 assists, and Ben Gordon added 17 points for the Bulls, who won three straight and seven of their last nine games.
Portland has lost two straight.
In the losing effort, LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 20 points and eight rebounds; Zach Randolph added 17 points; Martell Webster chipped in 14 points and Jarrett Jack had 10 points and nine assists.
