A great game by Boswell led LA Clippers to a 115-83 blowout of Chicago. "Coach had a talk with me before the game," said Boswell afterwards. "He told me Chicago was a tough team and that he needed me to play my best out there. He was right; I felt that when I started getting the job done, it gave the rest of the team a boost."

Said Chicago coach Bob, "He was magnificent out there. I'd like to think that we could have won if he hadn't played, but I doubt it. Their whole team was too good for us today."

LA Clippers was led by Boswell (12 points, 15 assists, 4 steals), Minor (20 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Johnson (21 points, 1 assists). Chicago was led by Glover (10 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Mayes (15 points, a steal, a block), Brown (16 points, a steal).

With this win, LA Clippers jump to 2-1. They move up to #1 in the Pacific and move up to #2 overall in the Western Conference. Chicago are now 1-3 and 0-3 at home after the defeat. They fall to #5 in the Central and fall to #13 overall in the Eastern Conference.
