Clippers can't keep pace with Bulls
The undefeated streak continues for Ivica Zubac, although Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis was on the receiving end of it. A 21-point and 19-rebound double-double had many in awe. Funny enough, the Clippers have a perfect record when Zubac posts at least 20+ points and 15+ rebounds.

Norman Powell scored 27 points, but the Clippers struggled with their shooting and couldn't overcome the absences of Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac in a loss.
