Norman Powell scores 27 points, but the Clippers struggle with their shooting and can't overcome the absences of Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac in loss.
The Clippers are in the middle of their most arduous part of the regular season, playing six games in nine days — a stretch that threatens to push them to their limits. Making matters worse, injuries are proving difficult to avoid. With Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac out, the Clippers saw their four-game winning streak end in a 112-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls at the Intuit Dome on Monday night. The Clippers sorely missed Leonard and Zubac — they shot just 39.4% from the field and 21.
Terance Mann had 12 points off the bench for the Clippers. Mo Bamba started at center in place of Zubac, finishing with 10 points and seven rebounds. The Clippers were playing on back-to-back nights after defeating the Lakers on Sunday. They will play another back-to-back set on Wednesday and Thursday against Boston and Washington, respectively. “Just got to be mentally tough,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before Monday's loss.
