Hello, Clipper fans.

Strange but true.

Not a lot of local coverage of last night's game in the L.A. papers.

Just a reprint of the Associated Press story in the papers which had coverage.

Fortunately (or not), the Seattle papers had some additional coverage.

If the L.A.-area papers come up with more later in the day, I'll publish a supplement.
