LAst Night's Action - USC Up, Clippers Down, Kings Win!
()
USC 44, Notre Dame 24 - Only because the Trojans got a little sloppy was this game even somewhat watchable. Basically SC toyed and played with the Irish like a cat does with a mouse that it doesn't want to kill until it realizes that it's not moving any more. UCLA's only hope is they can distract them next week with something shiny on the end of a stick.
Timberwolves 104, Clippers 96 - When the Clippers decided to check out during the fourth quarter, Minnesota's #1 draft pick Randy Foye took it as a cue to make his season premiere. The 'Nova star scored 14 points in the fourth and the entire Clips only scored 15 in a game of streaks. Sam Cassell scored 28 in the first 36 minutes but could only score 3 in the final quarter.
Kings 3, Flames 1 - Mathieu Garon racked up 22 saves and the Kings scored on two power plays as LA won for the just the fifth time in their last 22 games.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
