Clippers have not led yet tonight in Chicago. – 9:26 PM Julia Poe @byjuliapoe For the first time in 13 years, the Chicago Sky will have to define themselves without Courtney Vandersloot. The four-time All-Star and long-time captain announced her decision to leave Chicago tonight, leaving behind her an inimitable legacy. chicagotribune. com/sports/sky/ct-… – 9:21 PM Norm’s 15 2nd quarter points weren’t even his most for a 2nd quarter this month. He gave the Mavericks 16 2nd quarter points to turn that game into a blowout in LA.
To speed up his release, Batum does a drill where he works his way around the 3-pt arc trying to make 100 3s in 5 minutes. He’s only done it once — high score of 102. – 8:41 PM 7-0 Chicago run 39-22 Chicago lead Clippers brought the frigid shooting from Cleveland here to the Windy City. It’s BAD. Clippers have missed 13 of 16 3s, and have missed 6 of 11 in paint. Surprisingly, no midrange attempts yet. Just a heap of good shot selection bricks. – 8:41 PM DeMar DeRozan and Paul George have known each other a long time, won gold together at 2016 Olys. DeRozan said he always appreciates matchups against players he knew before making the league. – 8:37 PM It’s Chicago 32, Clippers 20 after one quarter. The difference is three-point shooting, with Chicago at 6-10, the Clippers 3-12. The Clippers’ looks have been open, but they haven’t hit.

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Spectacularly weird January for Clippers.
– 8:34 PM Chicago leads Clippers 32-20 at the end of one quarter of play. Nikola Vucevic (11) and DeMar DeRozan (8) are shooting 8/13 FGs, with Vucevic hitting as many 3s (3/4) as entire Clippers team (3/12). Bulls shooting 54. 5% FGs overall, while Clippers are down at 34. 8% FGs. – 8:34 PM Chicago takes timeout with 25-15 lead, 2:45 left in opening quarter. PG and Kawhi are 2/5 from 3, but Kennard missed all 3 of his attempts, and Powell has missed his first. Really bad sign that Nikola Vucevic has more 3s than entire Clippers team, and that’s with Vooch resting – 8:27 PM Ty Lue said pregame that anytime Kawhi is getting up a bunch of threes — as he did in Atlanta (10) — it’s a sign of good ball movement.
The Bulls had a 19-point, first-half lead in this one. But 20 turnovers, led by a career-high eight from DeMar DeRozan and six from Zach LaVine, were too much for Chicago to overcome. Four-game home stand starts 0-1. – 10:25 PM Clippers 108, Bulls 103 Vucevic 23 pts, 14 rebs LaVine 18 pts, 14 rebs (career high), 8 assists, 6 TOs DeRozan 20 pts, 5 assists, 8 TOs (career high) Bulls 20 TOs (22 Clippers pts) Leonard 33 pts Powell 27 pts off bench – 10:23 PM Huge FTs for Norman Powell, who is now 10/10 from stripe. Clippers 20/24. Bulls 15/21 and reeling from two misses from LaVine when Powell fouled him on 3. 10. 8 left to play.
His non-Kawhi teammates shot 6/31 3s and 4/7 FTs. Norm credited working with @Jigga2cal on shot discipline this AM. pic. twitter. com/Xf8OCvvzM8 – 12:43 AM Norman Powell capped a 16-game January where he averaged 18. 5 pints on 49. Norm credited working with @Jigga2cal on shot discipline this AM pic. com/ceu9BVAD6L – 12:42 AM KC Johnson @KCJHoop DeMar DeRozan took full blame for his 8 TOs but tripled down on his in-game arguing on the No-call on his late drive. – 10:45 PM StatMuse @statmuse Kawhi this season: October/November — 10.
Bulls had a 19-point lead five minutes ago — and it’s gone – 8:56 PM That was quick: 7-0 Clippers run against a questionable Bulls lineup (Jones/Dragic in for Vucevic/DeRozan with starters) and Billy Donovan stops the game. Chicago lead cut to 46-34 with 6:10 left in first half. – 8:50 PM And another one falls. Courtney Vandersloot announces she will not be returning to the Chicago Sky.
3-point shooting for Clippers remains horrendous outside of Powell, who is 3/6 (rest of LAC: 6/28, 21. 4%). Powell has game-high 25 points. Clippers benefitting from points/TO (15-0 since Bulls started 9-0). – 9:47 PM End of three: Clippers 85, Bulls 84 Norm Powell has 25 points tonight including five in a 20-second burst to close the quarter. – 9:46 PM Back-to-back Zach LaVine and-ones have Chicago back up 81-75 with 2:59 left in 3rd quarter, and Bulls are in bonus rest of the period. LaVine has a FT after the TV timeout. The 3-point margin remains in Chicago’s favor; 11-7 for game, while Chicago is 3/4 in 3rd (LAC: 1/8) – 9:40 PM A crosscourt, left-handed, on-target pass off the dribble for a 3 may be more impressive than the dunk. Patrick Williams is having a night – 9:31 PM Terance Mann and Luke Kennard had missed their first 9 shots of this game. Mann breaks the seal for the backcourt duo with a stepback 3 following Kennard’s steal of DeRozan. It’s the 6th tie of the game at 61 with 8:23 left.
26 points to lead all scorers. – 9:59 PM So they *can* make a wide-open three-pointer! Batum hits one to push Clippers ahead 99-91 with 6:36 left. Clippers are 11-40 tonight from deep. – 9:58 PM Stephen Noh @StephNoh This Coby White | Ayo Dosunmu | DeMar DeRozan | Derrick Jones Jr. | Andre Drummond lineup that Billy Donovan is going with in a one-possession game in the 4th quarter might be the worst-shooting unit I’ve seen all year. – 9:53 PM Clippers use Norm-infused 10-0 run to take 85-84 lead into 4th quarter.
