LA Clippers looked like champions today, beating Sacramento 100-78. "That's the best we've seen them for a while," said an overwhelmed Sacramento coach Bob. "None of the tapes we had of them showed the fluid execution that we saw out there today, and frankly we just weren't prepared as well as they were. I take full responsibility for that; with better preparation we could have won. Instead they just took over the game and never let us back in."

LA Clippers was led by Smith (37 points, a block), Newton (5 points, 5 boards, 14 assists, a steal), Feaster (16 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a block). Sacramento was led by Westbrook (23 points, 5 boards, 0 assists), Green (12 points), Lake (13 points).

LA Clippers jump to 44-19 after the victory. They clinched the Pacific crown and remain at #3 overall in the Western Conference. Sacramento stand at 22-41 and 15-16 at home with the defeat. They remain at #2 in the Pacific and stay at #11 overall in the Western Conference.
