San Antonio showed who was the better team tonight with a convincing 115-92 win over LA Clippers. Although not exactly a blowout, San Antonio coach Bob and his players outplayed LA Clippers from start to end. "I was hoping for a better outcome," said LA Clippers 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 LA Clippers 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 San Antonio sure made their point."
