Clippers Nab Victory Over Bulls

The Chicago Bulls were unable to overcome the inside strength of the Los Angeles Clippers and lost, 112-106 in NBA action Tuesday.

The Bulls dropped to 22-44. The Clippers are 37-29.

The Bulls had an impressive first half run and only late in the half fell behind after a pair of technical fouls and free throws. But a poor third quarter doomed the Bulls to battling back the rest of the game and the Clippers held them off like a long armed boxer with the Bulls taking swing after swing and not getting close enough.

The Bulls had six players score in double figures and were led off the bench again by Bobby Portis with 19 points and nine rebounds. Kris Dunn had 18 points and six assists. David Nwaba had 15 points. Robin Lopez had 12 and Zach LaVine and Cameron Payne had 10 each. The Bulls had a 43-24 margin in bench scoring. It was another tough shooting game fro LaVine at three of 13.
