“It was crazy.”::No one expected much from the Clippers at the start of the 1992 playoffs. But when the best-of-five series moved to Los Angeles on April 28, the Clippers swung the momentum with a 98-88 victory. The Lakers, facing the Portland Trail Blazers in another playoff series, chose to continue in Las Vegas and NBA officials wanted the Clippers to do likewise. NBA officials wanted the series to resume by Saturday, May 2, to accommodate network television. The riots were subsiding by then, but Los Angeles was still in disorder, so team officials had a very different concern.
