TRAIL BLAZERS 115, BULLS 109: Jarrett Jack drove for a go-ahead basket and converted a three-point play with 19 seconds left in the second overtime as Portland outlasted Chicago for its 15th win in 16 games.
Brandon Roy had 25 points and Travis Outlaw 21 for Portland, now 2-0 since its 13-game winning streak was ended on Monday by Utah.

Ben Gordon scored 32 points to lead the Bulls and veteran Joe Smith added a season-high 31 as Chicago dropped to 3-2 since Jim Boylan was appointed interim coach after the firing of Scott Skiles.

NUGGETS 80, SPURS 77: Kenyon Martin scored underneath with 45 seconds left after Anthony Carter stole the ball from Tim Duncan as Denver turned away San Antonio.

Martin, who had missed four of five games since straining his right hamstring on Dec. 20, then rejected Tony Parker at the other end for his seventh block, and Allen Iverson sank two free throws with 6.6 seconds left to give the Nuggets a three-point lead.

Iverson scored 29 points and Carmelo Anthony added 17 for the Nuggets.
