A series of mistakes by LA Clippers gave Denver the 87-77 upset. "We just lost our focus," said LA Clippers coach Bob. "Frankly, they were overmatched and they knew it. We did what we wanted for most of the game, but just blew it. What a tough way to go. You have to give them credit - they stuck around against a tougher opponent and were in position to take advantage when we gave them freebies."

Denver was led by Phillips (15 points, 21 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Houchin (9 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals), White (16 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, a block). LA Clippers was led by Brown (30 points, 16 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block), Patrick (14 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, a block), Hayes (12 points, 2 blocks).
