'An anonymous NBA sources, ESPN reported several Rockets players — including Chris Paul and James Harden — used a back tunnel that connected the two teams’ locker rooms to try to continue the bad blood with the Clippers. They were escorted away by security before anything got physical. The Rockets players’ frustration was focused on Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.' - NY post
'The NBA has opened an investigation into, well, everything. They want to determine exactly what happened both during and after the game, and the Associated Press reported that the NBA plans to speak with players.
The incident had Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal in stitches (try not to laugh at the report from sideline reporter Rosalyn Gold-Onwude) during TNT’s postgame show, particularly when it was reported that the LAPD was on the scene.
“Hello, police? Chris Paul tried to beat me up!” O’Neal joked.' via SportsYahoo
