Atlanta Hawks defeat LA Clippers 110-92. The Clippers second game of a back-to-back starts off exactly like the first: a trade.

The Clips sent Al Thornton to Washington and Sebastian Telfair to Cleveland while getting Drew Gooden from Washington. Meanwhile on the court a player from Tuesday’s trade with Portland Steve Blake got the start for the Clips. Although he only managed three points and two rebounds in 32 minutes while turning the ball over three times, he did get nine assists. Chris Kaman returned to his All Star form with 21 points and 10 rebounds while Eric Gordon and Rasual Butler got 18 points each. But the Hawks were just too much for the Clips who still have yet to win a game with Kim Hughes as head coach. more ›
