This comes as no surprise as the game was very chippy, in part to the return of Chris Paul to Los Angeles.
The point guard played his first game in LA against his former team and there seemed to be no love lost. Both Paul and the Clippers’ Blake Griffin got into each other several times, including a moment when both Griffin and the Rockets’ Mike D’Antoni were T’d up.
Trevor Ariza also seemed frustrated through the game, culminating when both he and Griffin were ejected late in the fourth quarter after Ariza began to argue with players on the Clippers’ bench.
This win put the Clippers over the .500 mark for the season and moved them up into seventh place in the Western Conference. If playoffs were to start today, they would be matched up against the Houston Rockets in the first round.
