The Chicago Bulls delivered one of their sharpest offensive performances of the season on Tuesday, overwhelming the Los Angeles Clippers 138-110 at the United Center behind a historic night from Coby White.
Chicago Bulls drained a franchise record-tying 25 three-pointers, converting 53 percent from deep, as White scored 27 points and knocked down six shots from beyond the arc. The guard followed up a season-high seven triples against Brooklyn on Sunday with another efficient scoring effort to lead Chicago to its 20th win of the 2025-26 season.
The Bulls seized control in the second quarter, outscoring the visitors 45-19 to open a commanding halftime lead. Chicago entered the break ahead 70-49 after shooting 64 percent in the period and forcing the Clippers into rushed possessions and turnovers.
White’s scoring set the tone early, but the offense was balanced throughout the lineup. Matas Buzelis added 21 points and four three-pointers, continuing his productive stretch as a floor-spacing forward. Ayo Dosunmu scored 18, while Kevin Huerter finished with 14, and both guards connected on four shots from long range.
Nikola Vucevic anchored the interior with 19 points and eight rebounds, capitalizing on mismatches in the paint and keeping the Clippers from fully committing to the perimeter. Tre Jones also provided control off the bench, recording 10 assists during key stretches when Los Angeles attempted to rally.
Los Angeles Clippers entered the night riding a six-game winning streak and had gone 13-2 over their previous 15 games. That momentum briefly resurfaced in the third quarter when John Collins hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to 80-74 midway through the period.
Chicago responded immediately. Jones opened a 17-3 run with a floater, and Huerter capped it with a fast-break layup to restore a 20-point cushion at 97-77. The Bulls never allowed the margin to drop back into single digits.
James Harden led Los Angeles with 24 points, while Collins added 23 and matched his season high with five three-pointers. The Clippers shot just 33 percent from beyond the arc and were outpaced by Chicago’s ball movement, which produced 40 assists.
Kawhi Leonard missed his third consecutive game with a sprained right ankle and bruised left knee, leaving Los Angeles short-handed on the wing.
With the win, the Bulls improved to 20-22, holding ninth place in the Eastern Conference. The Clippers fell to 19-23 and sit 10th in the West.
Chicago visits Minnesota on Thursday, while Los Angeles hosts the Lakers the same night.
