LA Clippers showed who was the better team tonight with a convincing 97-83 win over San Antonio. Although not exactly a blowout, LA Clippers coach Bob and his players outplayed San Antonio from start to end. "I was hoping for a better outcome," said San Antonio coach Bob during a post-game interview. "But they just overpowered us, and there was nothing we could do to adjust. Bob's team was more talented and better-prepared, and it would have taken quite a bit of luck for us to overcome that."

The loss was tough on San Antonio fans, who had expected great things from their team after some offseason moves. "I think reality is starting to sink in," said one team. "We didn't expect to see other teams outplaying us this badly, but LA Clippers sure made their point."
