CHICAGO -- When the Los Angeles Clippers lost All-Star Chris Paul to a separated
shoulder, they turned to Blake Griffin for leadership.

responded by stepping up his play. Griffin had 26 points, 13 rebounds and seven
assists to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 112-95 victory over the Chicago
Bulls on Friday night. The Clippers improved to 7-3 since Paul, who was
averaging 19.6 points and 11.2 assists, was injured. "Blake doesnt run from a
challenge," Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said. "Hes one of the hardest workers
Ive seen." The Clippers enjoyed a strong outside game, opening up Griffin on the
inside, and he finished with his 27th double-double. "(I want to be) a leader
for us, knocking down shots and being able to mix up my game, going inside when
I felt the need to and going outside when I needed to," Griffin said. Crawford
added 19 points for the Clippers, who had six players score in double figures
and shot 54 per cent from the field -- including 13 for 21 on 3-pointers.
DeAndre Jordan added 10 points and 12 rebounds. "They were open, the right guy
was taking them, all of our 3-point shooters," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said.
"They made them, and that opened it up for Blake." Carlos Boozer scored 22
points for the Bulls, who snapped a three-game winning streak. "I dont think any
aspect of our defence was any good," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. The
Clippers have won four straight against the Bulls, and improved to 3-2 on their
seven-game trip. Chicago cut the lead to eight in the third quarter but
Darren Collison answered with two quick baskets and the Clippers led 92-80
heading to the fourth. Los Angeles got off to a strong start. The Clippers shot
10 for 14 on 3s and finished 64.1 per cent overall from the field in the first
half to take a 68-55 lead at halftime. Jordans dunk gave the Clippers a 60-39
lead, their largest margin, with 3:52 left before halftime. Los Angeles was 7
for 8 from beyond the arc in the first quarter to set a franchise record for 3s
in a quarter. The Clippers led 41-26 after shooting 73.7 per cent in the period.
"Thats kind of what we talked about, especially defensively," Griffin said about
the quick start. "But we still didnt do a good job in the first quarter. We were
just so hot early. We got that lead and kept it. Especially on the road, you
never want to come out sluggish." In the teams previous meeting, the Clippers
routed the Bulls 121-82 on Nov. 24 for their worst loss of the season in the
first game after Derrick Rose suffered a season-ending knee injury. The Clippers
were averaging 105.4 points, fifth in the league. The Bulls were one of the NBAs
top defensive teams, holding opponents to 92.5 points per game before Friday.
"Giving up 3s, we strive for five or less," Bulls forward Taj Gibson said. "That
was just crazy. We kept fighting. But once they give a team like that
confidence, its hard to shut them off." J.J. Redick scored 18 points and shot 4
for 7 from 3-point range. Collison, playing despite a sprained toe, had 17
points. Boozer, back from a one-game absence due to a sore left calf, scored 16
points in the first quarter. Gibson added 18 points, Mike Dunleavy had 17 and
Joakim Noah 12 as the Bulls shot 43 per cent from the field and 6 for 19 from
3-point range. The Bulls were without Kirk Hinrich, who missed his second
consecutive game with a strained right hamstring. "I think we were passive,"
Bulls guard Jimmy Butler said. "I dont like the word soft, but I think we were a
little bit of that too. They got the shots they wanted to get. We didnt make it
too tough for them at all." NOTES: Rivers said the Bulls shouldnt let Thibodeau
get away. Thibodeau was on Rivers coaching staff from 2007-10 with the Boston
Celtics. "I think it would be nuts not to have him here," Rivers said. "Hes the
best coach, one of the best coaches, in the league, so if you have that, thats
an asset. And I dont think any right-minded organization would allow that asset
to leave. Because with all this adversity theyve had with injuries, if you allow
that one to leave, things will fall apart -- and that would be pretty much a
guarantee." Thibodeau declined to address rumours about his future. ... Hinrich
will possibly miss the Bulls trip to Charlotte on Saturday as he continues to
receive treatment, Thibodeau said. ... Thibodeau said it would be a great
experience for Rose to play for Team USA if he is healthy. Rose was one of 28
players named to the 2014-16 national team pool. The FIBA Basketball World Cup
will be Aug. 30-Sept. 14 in Spain. Rose is out for the NBA season after
undergoing knee surgery on Nov. 25. ... Thibodeau picked up a technical foul
with the Bulls trailing 86-74 with 2:10 left in the third quarter.
