Clippers VS Rockets

On January 15, 2017, in Chris Paul's return to Los Angeles things got a little out of hand. It was a matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets. From the start, there was physical play from both sides of the court. The game just kept escalating and things started to get cheap and uncalled for from both sides. This involved Blake Griffin and the Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni to get physical and start screaming at each other. Both sides were runnings their mouths and getting physical. Trevor Ariza ended up ripping a gaping hole in Blake Griffin's leg sleeve. Then Blake Griffin saved a ball from out of bounds and threw it directly at Eric Gordon's head.  Eventually, Blake Griffin and Trevor Ariza were thrown out of the game. The Clippers eventually won  113-102. After the game though Chris Paul led his teammates James Harden, Trevor Ariza, and Gerald Green through a backdoor entrance to the Clippers locker room. Apparently, they were banging on the door and saying they wanted Austin Rivers. The LAPD was eventually called and the NBA is running an investigation on the incident. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, there will be no shortage of punishment to the people involved in this incident.
