The Chicago Bulls were coming off a blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers when they welcomed the Los Angeles Clippers to town on Wednesday night. With the Clippers trying to hold on to the sixth seed in the Western Conference and the Bulls seemingly tanking their way the rest of the season, it seemed as if this would be an easy win for Los Angeles. However, it was far from that.
After a late James Harden three put the game away, the Clippers hung on to win 122-117 over the Bulls to snap their three-game losing streak. While six Clippers finished with double-digit scoring, one player who didn’t score in double-figures carved out an all-around performance.
