A great game plan and solid execution gave LA Clippers a 99-90 win over Philadelphia. The game looked like a toss-up on paper, with both teams having strengths and weaknesses. But LA Clippers coach Adnan Bislimovic had his team better-prepared, and the difference was clear when the teams began play. "It's embarrasing to admit, but I was outcoached today," said Philadelphia coach Bob. "Adnan Bislimovic had his team prepared perfectly, and his players did exactly what they were supposed to do."

LA Clippers was led by Fuhr (10 points, 17 boards, 1 assists), Boswell (5 points, 3 steals), Cato (9 points, 4 assists, a steal). Philadelphia was led by Alston (5 points, 6 boards, 12 assists, 3 steals), Hargrove (26 points, 6 boards, 0 assists), Mitchell (29 points).
