The LA Clippers needed everything they had to beat the Phoenix Suns to secure the fifth seed in the Western Conference playoffs, including overcoming a brief heated disagreement on the bench between Mason Plumlee and Bones Hyland in between the third and fourth quarters.
At the end of the third quarter of the Clippers' all-important 119-114 win over the Suns in Phoenix, Plumlee and Hyland got into an argument over what appeared to be a defensive breakdown on a possession seconds earlier.
Clippers coach Ty Lue said the two teammates cleared the air.
