LOS ANGELES — – Kawhi Leonard<\/a> scored 28 points, Bennedict Mathurin<\/a> had 26 and the Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to four games with a 119-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Jordan Miller<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Josh Giddey<\/a> had his 11th triple-double of the season for the Bulls with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Tre Jones<\/a> scored 21 points and Matas Buzelis<\/a> added 18 as the Bulls went 2\/3 on a West Coast trip.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Bulls lost on consecutive nights in the Los Angeles area after falling to the Lakers 142-130 on Thursday.<\/p>\n
