With Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac unavailable, the Clippers can’t keep up with Zach LaVine (35 points) and Chicago after halftime and lose for the first time in five games, 112-99.

The Chicago Bulls stayed out west and traveled to the brand-new Intuit Dome to face the Los Angeles Clippers on MLK Day. On Monday night, the Bulls defeated the Clippers 112-99.  The Clippers were not only without All-NBA caliber Kawhi Leonard,

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 center is averaging career highs in points (15.0), rebounds (12.7) and assists (2.6) and remains a solid rim protector, drawing praise from coaches, teammates and opponents.

After dominating the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday night, Ivica Zubac is set to miss tonight’s game for the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are set to host the Chicago Bulls in the first of their two regular-season matchups.
