The Clippers had a convincing 16 point win in Cleveland and held them to just 85 points, including a total of 10 points in the 2nd quarter.
The main standout on defense is Chris Kaman, Kaman has put on a highlight reel so far this season in blocking shots. Coming off a 6 block performance against the Cavs he continues to develop into more of a defensive presence.
