Kawhi Leonard scores 28 points in the Clippers' 119-108 victory over the Bulls
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.

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.
