LA Clippers took Phoenix to school today with a textbook-quality 124-81 beating. The game wasn't even as close as the final score, as LA Clippers coasted for much of the game on its huge cushion. "We just floundered around like idiots out there," said Phoenix star Mercer. "Even midway through the game we knew it would take a miracle to pull out a win against LA Clippers."

Coach Bob admitted as much early in the game when he said, "We're getting beaten up like some high-schoolers. Even when it looks like we have a chance to do something, we can't. This just isn't a pretty game, unless you're a LA Clippers fan."

LA Clippers was led by Brown (29 points, 10 boards, 2 assists, a block), Murphy (12 points, 16 boards, 2 assists, a steal, a block), Davidson (7 points, 10 assists). Phoenix was led by Mercer (18 points), Paskowitz (16 points), Celaya (13 points, a steal).
