Indiana players could only shake their heads in amazement after being blown out by LA Clippers, 109-62. In addition to a great game by Brown, coach Bob had his team prepared perfectly and appeared to be reading the mind of Indiana coach Coach Hitch. Whatever Coach Hitch tried failed miserably, and the end result was a blowout that will stick in the minds of both sides until they meet again. After the game, Coach Hitch said as much: "No doubt they were the better team today. But this won't be the last time we meet, and our players certainly don't like the way Bob ran up the score on us."

LA Clippers was led by Brown (22 points, 14 boards, 0 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks), Davidson (5 points, 13 assists, 4 steals), Patrick (26 points). Indiana was led by Robinson (6 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, a block), Gray (11 points, 1 assists), Paquette (12 points).
