Well, that didn’t go as planned. The Clippers might not have traveled to Salt Lake City expecting a victory, but they sure didn’t expect the thrashing that awaited them. The embarrassment.

Exposition: After playing three games in four nights, the Los Angeles Lakers are a bit weary. They are carried into the game by their aging yet rejuvenated superstar, Kobe Bryant, who has scored at le[...]
