George led the charge with 22 points, while Harden orchestrated the offense masterfully, notching a triple-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac also made significant contributions, racking up 35 points and 18 rebounds, while Norman Powell added 18 points to strengthen the Clippers’ offensive firepower.
Despite a strong start from the Bulls, who took a 29-23 lead after the first quarter and held a 57-46 advantage at halftime, the Clippers refused to back down. With a 19-4 run in the third quarter, fueled by their tenacity and unwavering determination, Los Angeles came back from a 10-point deficit to take control of the game.
Chicago’s dynamic duo of DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic put up a valiant effort, contributing 24 and 22 points, respectively, but it wasn’t enough to fend off the Clippers’ relentless onslaught. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu also chipped in with 19 and 13 points respectively for the Bulls, but their efforts fell short as their three-game winning streak came to an end.
With this victory, the Clippers extend their recent success, earning their fourth victory in the last five games. As they prepare for another tough matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, the Clippers will look to build on their momentum from this impressive win and continue their climb in the standings.
