On Monday night in Los Angeles most basketball fans were focused on the Golden State Warriors – Los Angeles Lakers match-up at Staples Center, where Kobe Bryant became the first player in NBA history to have two different numbers lifted to the rafters by the same team.
Probably for the best, as the contest between the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs was not much of a contest at all. The Clippers fell to the Spurs, 109-91.
Just hours before tip-off, Clippers PR announced that both Wes Johnson and Lou Williams were going to sit out the game.
