Denver pulled off the 97-93 upset of LA Clippers today, thanks to a mistake-filled game. "We stank," said losing coach Bob. "We beat them around like high-schoolers whenever we played like we usually do, but that wasn't often enough. There's just no excuse for that type of play. I suppose we just got overconfident; I mean LA Clippers isn't exactly a top-notch team. But we sure stank it up out there."

Denver coach Bob focused more on the positives. "Bob can say what he wants, but we really managed to knock them out of their usual plan. Would that have happened if they weren't playing anybody? He makes it sound like they gave the game away, but the truth is that we played with them the whole way and were in position to capitalize when our chances came."

Denver was led by Davis (23 points, 21 boards, 2 assists), Beachum (24 points, a steal, 2 blocks), Slayton (14 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks). LA Clippers was led by Brown (40 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Murphy (16 points, 15 boards, 2 assists), Hayes (5 points, 3 steals).

With the win, Denver jump to 29-32. They remain at #5 in the Northwest and hold at #10 overall in the Western Conference. LA Clippers stand at 37-26 and 19-11 at home. They stay at #2 in the Pacific and stay at #6 overall in the Western Conference.
