After their most recent blowout win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Clippers’ record has improved to 8-4 with an extended seven-game winning streak. Now against the Chicago Bulls, who also have an 8-4 record, the question is whether or not the Clippers can make it eight in a row. The Clippers’ impressive winning streak following a lackluster start to the season is not just due to luck — it’s their offensive production and defensive effort that has led to their wins, many of which required climbing out of double-digit deficits. What might be the most exciting and entertaining part of the Clippers’ success, however, is the bench play. However, the Clippers will benefit from the absence of the Bulls’ starting center Nikola Vucevic, whose outside shooting capabilities pose challenges for traditional centers on defense.
