CVBL: LA Clippers Beats Odds and Milwaukee
Jenkins's great game led LA Clippers to a 96-73 upset of Milwaukee. "He really gave us the win," said winning coach Adnan Bislimovic. "I think the rest of the team really felt intimidated coming in, but Jenkins showed them that we could pull off the win. You could really see the confidence build as time went on."
Hunter paced Milwaukee, but his effort was not enough. "It's easy to blame the star when we come up short," said Milwaukee coach Bob. "But really, if we all played like him we'd have won. It's just that we sometimes take him for granted and sit around watching him dominate. Today's game served as a wake-up call for the rest of the team."
LA Clippers was led by Jenkins (19 points, 15 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Wood (20 points, 11 boards, 0 assists), Wood (12 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, a steal, a block). Milwaukee was led by Hunter (14 points, 9 boards, 0 assists, a steal), Reese (14 points, 2 steals), Ott (15 points, 2 assists).
