San Antonio squashed some of the hype surrounding the revamped Los Angeles Clippers this afternoon (NZT) with a 115-90 victory that lifted the Spurs to 2-0 in the new season.
A blockbuster trade for point guard Chris Paul, and the acquisition of starters Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler, created a buzz about the Clippers that only grew after their season-opening victory over Golden State on Monday.
However, San Antonio brought them crashing back to Earth this afternoon with Manu Ginobili scoring 24 points and DeJuan Blair adding 20. The Spurs shot 56 percent for the game.
San Antonio padded a four-point half-time lead into a 25-point advantage with a run of points in the third quarter.
Blake Griffin led the Clippers (1-1) with 28 points and nine rebounds. Four other Clippers finished in double digits, including Paul with 10.
