Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 33 points, Norman Powell added 27 as the Clippers held off the Bulls, 108-103, on Tuesday in Chicago.
Scrolling through the night’s box score on his phone, Nicolas Batum sat at his locker, his eye brows seeming to raise higher with every shooting statistic he read aloud.Luke Kennard, one of the NBA’s most consistent shooters, shot 0-for-6.Reggie Jackson, the reserve experiencing a rejuvenating past two weeks since losing his spot in the rotation, was just 1-for-9. And Terance Mann, so often the Clippers’ infusion of energy, had made one of his six shots.
There were two reasons why this ended in a 108-103 win that gives the Clippers six wins in their last seven games. Only one was surprising., the reserve guard who has averaged 13.2 points and made 50% of his three-pointers since Jan. 6, again provided life when the offense was in danger of flat-lining. His 15 second-quarter points brought the Clippers back from the brink after they trailed by as many as 19, erasing the deficit entirely in only five minutes.
“The reason we’ve been winning is because our defense has picked it up and it’s carried us on a night like tonight,” said Paul George, who scored 16 points in 40 minutes. “The luxury is we got guys who can make shots and put the ball in the basket on most nights.Said Lue: “We went small and I thought our small unit did a really good job of getting us back in the game. Defensively it got us back in the game, was able to get out in transition and get a couple easy ones and it kind of got us going.
