In one of the most important games of the season for both teams, LA Clippers upstaged Memphis 108-95. Showing more glitter than a Brittany Spears concert, perfect LA Clippers execution, a brilliant game by Flake, and impeccable play-calling by Adnan Bislimovic provided all the right ingredients for a big win.

Smith was key for Memphis, but after the game he looked like somebody had just run over his dog. "I thought we could do it. The whole game I was still thinking we were going to win. I guess that's the difference between thinking it and doing it. Give LA Clippers credit - they are nothing but class. I just feel sorry for coach Bob. He had us ready and we let him down."

LA Clippers was led by Flake (27 points, a steal, 2 blocks), Jenkins (19 points, 9 boards, 0 assists, 4 blocks), Braziel (13 points, 10 boards, 0 assists). Memphis was led by Smith (32 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals), Edwards (21 points, 11 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Beard (23 points, 5 boards, 3 assists).
