LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Kawhi Leonard scored 28 points, Bennedict Mathurin had 26
and the Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to four games with a
119-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
Jordan Miller added 14 points to help the eighth-place Clippers win for the
seventh time in eight games to solidify their hold on a spot in the Western
Conference play-in tournament. After starting the season 6-21, Los Angeles is a
season-best two games over .500 at 34-32.
Leonard scored at least 20 points for the 44th consecutive game to tie Bob
McAdoo's franchise record set for the Buffalo Braves in 1974-75.
The Clippers were without trade-deadline acquisition Daruis Garland, who was
listed with left toe injury management on the front end of a back-to-back.
Josh Giddey had his 11th triple-double of the season for the Bulls with 20
points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Tre Jones scored 21 points and Matas
Buzelis added 18 as the Bulls went 2-3 on a West Coast trip.
Chicago shot 44.2% from the floor and 29.3% from 3-point range while falling to
3-4 following an 11-game losing streak.
The Bulls lost on consecutive nights in the Los Angeles area after falling to
the Lakers 142-130 on Thursday.
