LA Clippers brushed past an overmatched New York team today 98-85. Always politically correct, LA Clippers coach Adnan Bislimovic stated simply "We just managed to do what we needed to get done out there. The players had solid execution all around, and Arnold's effort helped set the pace. New York is a team we've had success against in the past, which I think gave us a bit more confidence coming in."

New York coach Bob was a little more frank. "We knew going in that we'd need a miracle to beat LA Clippers, and we didn't get it. They have better players and a better coach, and did what they were supposed to do out there. I'm just glad the final score wasn't even worse."

LA Clippers was led by Arnold (20 points, 17 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Minor (13 points, 14 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Johnson (23 points, a block). New York was led by Scott (17 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, a steal, a block), Frazier (18 points, 8 boards, 0 assists), Hollis (17 points, 5 boards, 0 assists).
