CHICAGO, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Travis Outlaw scored a season-high 33 points Monday to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 109-95 win over the host Chicago Bulls.
Outlaw was 9-of-14 shooting, including four three-pointers, and hit 11-of-13 free throw tries as Portland kicked off a four-game road trip with a third straight win.
Greg Oden added 17 points and 13 rebounds while guard Brandon Roy seemed rusty in his second game back after a four-game absence due to a sore hamstring, going 3-of-13 from the floor for 11 points, but contributed with eight rebounds. Steve Blake added 16 points and 10 assists for Blazers.
Drew Gooden led the Bulls with 22 points and nine rebounds as Chicago concluded a five-game homestand 2-3 and dropped their home mark to 12-7 this season.
The Blazers got three-pointers from Blake, Roy and Rudy Fernandez as part of an 11-0 run to open a 16-point lead with a little over six minutes to play in the game, and Portland held a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
