Memphis may have finally put an end to questions with a 82-67 win over LA Clippers today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Scott was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against LA Clippers. Scott let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Memphis was led by Scott (5 points, 25 boards, 2 assists, a block), Whitfield (14 points, 10 boards, 0 assists), Chatman (5 points, 4 steals). LA Clippers was led by Jenkins (20 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks), Newton (6 points, 12 assists, a block), Feaster (11 points, 1 assists, a block).

Memphis keep rolling with a winning streak of 5 games and stand at 39-15. They stay at #1 in the Southwest and hold at #2 overall in the Western Conference. LA Clippers snapped their tear at 7 games, and are now 37-18 and 23-3 at home. They remain at #1 in the Pacific and remain at #3 overall in the Western Conference.
