CVBL: LA Clippers Cruises Past Brooklyn
LA Clippers may have finally put an end to questions with a 113-102 win over Brooklyn today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Brown was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Brooklyn. Brown let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.
LA Clippers was led by Brown (24 points, 14 boards, 3 assists, a block), Reese (18 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, a block), Side (25 points, a block). Brooklyn was led by Alves (17 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Spring (25 points, a block), Hester (17 points, a steal).
LA Clippers stand at 19-10. They hold at #2 in the Pacific and stay at #5 overall in the Western Conference. Brooklyn drop to 12-15 and 8-6 at home with this loss. They hold at #3 in the Atlantic and fall to #8 overall in the Eastern Conference.
