The Houston Rockets and L.A. Clippers were involved in a physical game Monday, January 15, in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.
There were several skirmishes and lots of trash talking in the affair that was ultimately won by the Clippers 113-102.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that after the final whistle blew, Rockets players James Harden, Gerald Green and Trevor Ariza tried to enter the Clippers locker room to confront Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.

Security stopped them before that happened. The NBA is now investigating the incident. Disciplinary action against the players involved may follow.
