While tension and frustration boiled over on multiple occasions Monday night during a 113-102 win for the Los Angeles Clippers over the Houston Rockets, it paled in comparison to what allegedly occurred in the underground hallways of Staples Center.
The matchup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day marked the first for Chris Paul against his former team since he joined the Rockets during the offseason. Paul did not play in the meeting last December due to injury.
The Clippers welcomed their former point guard with a video montage to thank him for his time with the franchise.
