The Chicago Bulls hung close but in the end it was too much Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan and former Bulls first round pick Jamal Crawford. The Clips comfortably late runs away from "See Red" by the score 96-86 as Paul goes for a team-high 28 points dishing out a dozen assists.
With the score 69-69 after three frames it was the Clippers vs Bulls sensational Donut-Runner and Rookie Nikola Mirotic doing the honors. The Clips finally under the five minute mark started to take control of the game but not after Mirotic scores 15 of the Bulls 17 points in the frame including the first 13 points. Ironically enough "Niko" finishes with a game-high 29 points but the Clips scored 27 in the frame winning 96-86.
The Bulls number-wise won the game as they were + 9 from the arc in points and makes from the stripe. It was the Clips had elven more makes from the field and won the points in the paint battle. Clips Jordan scored 9 points but grabbed twenty-six boards with Spencer Hawes adding 14 points and nine boards and Jamal "206" Crawford with 16. The Clips move to 39-21 and they are smack dab in the middle of the west hunt.
The Bulls get 14 points from Aaron Brooks and 13 points and eleven boards from Joakim Noah as it's a Point Guard Driven League and the Bulls are going to have to manufacture some wins until D-Rose gets back. "See Red" falls to 37-23 as it them or the Cavs for the NBA Central.
Note: Bulls All-Star SG the "See Red Butler" Jimmy leaves and reportedly will have MRI on Elbow...c'mon Basketball Gods leave Jimmy alone!
