Brandon Roy was hurting. He’d fallen on his tailbone and was so sore his mobility during two tiring overtimes was limited. He also had a cut under his eye. “I took a couple of bangs here and there and just fought through it,” Roy said. And so d...id the Portland Trail Blazers, the NBA’s hottest team. Roy’s teammate Jarrett Jack drove for a go-ahead basket and converted a three-point play with 19 seconds left in the second overtime as the Trail Blazers outlasted the Chicago Bulls 115-109 on Thursday night for their 15th win in 16 games. “I fell on my tailbone in regulation and I really couldn’t move,” Roy said. “I told Coach I’ll continue to be a decoy. ... I was just trying to gut it out for the team. We’d come too far to let this one slip.”
