PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Nikola Vucevic hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer and Chicago Bulls held off a furious comeback attempt by the Portland Trail Blazers for a 122-121 victory on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Vucevic finished with 27 points and Coby White had 25 off the bench for the Bulls, who led by 21 points in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Deni Avdija’s 3-pointer tied it for the Blazers at 116 and Donovan Clingan’s layup put the Blazers in front with 47 seconds left. Clingan added a free throw to cap a 31-7 run and give Portland a 119-116 lead.<\/p>\n

White’s 3-pointer with 9.1 seconds pulled the Bulls within 120-119. After Jerami Grant hit the second of two free throws, White popped the ball out to Vucevic on the perimeter for the game-winner.<\/p>\n

Grant finished with 33 points for the slumping Blazers, who have lost four straight and six of the last seven.<\/p>\n

The Bulls were coming off a 130-127 victory over the Nuggets that ended a five-game losing streak. White sat out that game after returning the night before against Utah from a calf injury that had kept him out the first 11 games of the season.<\/p>\n

The Blazers were playing the second of a back-to-back after falling 127-110 to the visiting Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Jrue Holiday missed a third straight game with a calf injury and the Blazers were also without Shaedon Sharpe because of right calf soreness. Grant, who missed Tuesday\u00b4s game with an illness, started.<\/p>\n

The Blazers led for most of the first quarter before the Bulls pulled in front 33-31 early in the second on White’s 26-foot running jumper. Chicago led 62-58 at the break.<\/p>\n

Bulls: Host the Miami Heat on Friday.<\/p>\n

Trail Blazers: Visit the Warriors on Friday.<\/p>\n
