In the fourth quarter of the game, Blake, going out of bounds, ran into Houston Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni. The star forward was fouled seconds later and got into a heated exchange with the coach resulting in double technical fouls.
Things exploded in the Clippers’ locker room in an almost brawl after the game when Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green allegedly entered the home teams locker room trying to confront Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.
In the press room, Blake told reporters that he and his team members were all where they were supposed to be in there own locker rooms, and to ask the Rockets what happened. However after remaining tight lipped around the incident he later took to Twitter to express how he really felt about the incident.
