The Chicago Bulls with no Derrick Rose as expected and Pau Gasol a late scratch went heads up with the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples L.A. Sports Arena set-up. Most didn't give the Bulls much of chance including myself. The Bulls, have what the Clips wish they had blue-collar type attitude with five-star players as See Red takes down the Clips convincingly 105-89!
The play of the night might have been that late steal at the end if the 2nd frame by Jimmy Butler shooting a "J" with an and one as the Bulls erased what would have been a five-point deficit to two 50-48. That play gave the Bulls much-needed "Mo" which propelled them to a 31-14 3rd frame with the Bulls leading 79-64.
The Clips go to within seven at 92-85 with four minutes to go but that would be the closest they would get. The Bulls even won the 4th frame at 26-25 for a big-time 105-89 win moving See Red to 6-0 in the 2014-15 season coming out of the motel.
The "See Red Butler" Jimmy led the way with 22 points, eight helpers, and six boards. The TAJ-mania Devil starting with Gasol out went 20 points and six helpers with five boards. All-Star Joakim Noah went 11 point, sixteen boards, and six helpers. Bulls under Thibs always guarding folks in transition, in the half court, the locker room, concourse, and on the charter. That's why every night See Red has a chance. Bulls shoot nearly 50% from the field and 40% from the arc.
Clips get a game-high 24 points from "Jamal 206" off the bench. They also get double-doubles from Blake (19 pts 10 rebs) and DeAndre (10 pts 17 rebs) as Lob City missed a dozen free throws. They also were -9 from the Arc.
Bulls move to 8-3 (6-0 road) and the Clips fall to 5-4 (4-3 home)...
