Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey entered Wednesday shooting 52.2% from 3-point range in February. He proceeded to go 4-for-4 behind the arc.
And that takes the Bulls to the end of their depth chart, where Collins — a 6-foot-11 center who just joined the team three weeks ago at the trade deadline — is the only option remaining. The result has been a brutal onslaught of minutes as he tries to get his bearings in Chicago.
Coby White probably is as close as it comes now for the Bulls, and he got pretty close again, the three to potentially tie the game on a pass from Giddey with 38.2 seconds left. Bang, front rim, and the Clippers still were leading 117-114.
Ivica Zubac has a big night (27 points, 16 rebounds), but the Clippers squander opportunities with 18 turnovers and a poor shooting night from the perimeter in a 106-102 loss.
Zubac amassed 27 points (13-15 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds and one block over 38 minutes during Friday's 106-102 loss to the Lakers. Zubac is enjoying the best season of his nine-year career. His full-time role as the Clippers' starting center has yielded a whopping 37 double-doubles and a career-high average of 32.

Jonas Valančiūnas recently joined Domantas Sabonis on the Sacramento Kings, and the Lithuanian duo is starting to take shape. Keegan Murray led the scoring in a 101-118 road win over the Utah Jazz with 26 points, but Valančiūnas and Sabonis also made a big contribution.
The Los Angeles Clippers managed to escape the United Center with a 122-117 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
