Chicago (1-6) at LA Clippers (5-3), 7:30 pm
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Chicago Bulls continue a six-game road trip Saturday when they face the Los Angeles Clippers. On Thursday, Ben Gordon scored 24 points and Luol Deng added 23 but it wasn't enough as Chicago suffered a 112-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns. It was Gordon's first 20-point output this season. Chicago is 0-3 away from home. The Clippers have lost three of their last four games, including Friday's 122-105 setback to the Golden State Warriors despite another stellar performance by Chris Kaman, who collected 20 points and 12 rebounds. The 7-foot Kaman is perhaps playing the best basketball of his career, averaging 18.1 points, 14.3 assists and 2.1 blocks in seven games. Kaman's improved play could be due to the absence of injured star forward Elton Brand.
