Orlando, FL - The Agua Caliente Clippers (2-2) take down the Salt Lake City Stars (1-4), 100-87, on Tuesday afternoon. After exchanging leads in the opening two minutes of the game, the Clippers took full control and sailed to the finish-line.

Trailing by as much as 19 in the game and 16 at the half, the Stars brewed up a storm in the third, finishing the quarter on a 14-2 run to cut the deficit to three. Salt Lake City's hopes were well-alive late into the final frame after a huge put-back dunk by Tyler Bey with 4:24 remaining brought the difference back to a single possession but the Clippers were able to recover and weathered the storm, closing out the game with a 12-2 run.

Rookie guard Jahmi'us Ramsey, on flex-assignment from the Sacramento Kings, led the way for Agua Caliente with a career-best 21 points on 47 percent shooting from the field (eight-for-17), bouncing back from a rough outing on Sunday. Fellow rookie Jordan Ford added 16 points, four assists, and three steals. The Clippers also dominated the boards with help from Donte Grantham and Emanuel Terry. Grantham recorded his second-straight double-double with a 10-point, 12-rebound performance and Terry continued to be a monster on the glass, collecting 15 rebounds for the second time in four games.

Bey, a two-way player for the Dallas Mavericks, led the way for the Salt Lake City, scoring 21 points off the bench, on an efficient eight-of-13 (61.5 percent) from the field, and collecting eight rebounds. Three other Stars scored in double-figures with Yogi Ferrell and Trevon Bluiett contributing 13 points apiece and Trevon Scott adding and efficient 12 points.

The Clippers have a quick turnaround as they bookend a back-to-back tomorrow morning against the hosting Raptors 905. The matchup marks only the third time these two teams have faced each other, with Agua Caliente victorious in the first two. The Clippers will look to continue that trend at 8:30 a.m. PT inside the HP Field House at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, FL.
