The Chicago Bulls ( 12 - 8 ) resisted a late surge by the Los Angeles Clippers ( 13 - 10 ) to hang onto a much - needed win . Chicago 's victory snapped a three - game losing streak and came on the second half of a back - to - back following the team 's loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday . Despite a lackluster shooting night ( 4 - 14 FGM , 0 - 2 3PM ) , Bulls star Jimmy Butler was able to control the game in other ways , distributing the ball well for eight assists and recording both two steals and two blocks . Chicago 's other reigning All-Star , Pau Gasol , matched Butler 's defensive stats while leading the way with a big 24 points on offense . Struggles continued , meanwhile , for former MVP Derrick Rose , who is continuing to put up the worst numbers of his career . The point guard scored just 11 points to go with only three rebounds and two assists . The Clippers , who had won three straight headed into their matchup against Chicago , saw questionable offensive efficiency throughout the game . The team shot just 34 percent from the field , including a dismal 2 - for - 11 night from starter J.J. Redick . On a more positive note , star power forward Blake Griffin continued his campaign to establish himself as one of the league 's premier players , scoring 18 points on solid 7 - for - 14 shooting and pulling down 11 rebounds . Griffin has been a force to be reckoned with this season , and has helped build momentum for the rising Clippers team . While Thursday 's game snapped their winning streak , the Clippers should hope to bounce back as they take on the 7 - 15 Nets in Brooklyn on Saturday . Chicago , meanwhile , will continue their homestand on Saturday , this time facing Anthony Davis and the Pelicans .
