San Antonio Spurs defeat LA Clippers 105-88. The Clippers tried. After falling down 15 points in the first quarter, they managed to bring the deficit down to a point in the second quarter. But the Spurs were too good.
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 22 points while the ageless Tim Duncan had 18 points. The Spurs did a good job of minimizing Chris Paul's contributions limiting him to 10 points and five assists.
LA Kings defeat Phoenix Coyotes 2-1. The Kings take a 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference thanks to rookie Dwight King's game winning goal in the third period.
LA Dodgers defeat San Diego Padres 8-1.
Chicago White Sox defeat LA Angels 6-1. Angels' starter C.J. Wilson didn't make it out of the fourth inning before being tagged with four runs and an early trip to the showers. Granted only one of the runs were earned thanks to a fielding error by Mike Trout out in right field. Albert Pujols hit a homer going 1-for-4 lifting his batting average to .214.
