LA Clippers beat New Orleans today, 90-80. But the big headlines in the game came from an incident involving New Orleans players and coach Bob after the game. After the players disappeared into their respective locker rooms, New Orleans players reportedly attacked coach, throwing him to the ground. Reporters waiting outside heard only pieces of the shouting, but the players were clearly upset by Bob's questionable calls late in the game. New Orleans star Jones was one of those involved, and was still upset about the situation during the post-game interviews. "I'm not free to comment on what happened," he said. "But I will tell you that I'm working my tail off every game and expect the same effort from my teammates and coaches."

Interviews with LA Clippers players were a bit less exciting, with Brown giving the cliche line "we're just happy to come out with the win. Coach Bob and his team gave a good fight, but we were the better team today."

LA Clippers was led by Brown (12 points, 21 boards, 1 assists, 6 blocks), Davidson (7 points, 7 boards, 14 assists, 4 steals), Patrick (29 points, a steal, a block). New Orleans was led by Jones (25 points, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Mitchell (10 points, 11 assists, a steal), Williams (23 points, a block).

LA Clippers jump to 54-20 with this victory. They hold at #1 in the Pacific and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference. New Orleans are now 27-47 and 14-22 at home with this loss. They remain at #4 in the Southwest and hold at #12 overall in the Western Conference.
