Rockets’ secret tunnel attack on Clippers gets all the memes
The Houston Rockets’ well planned out, multifaceted attack on the Los Angeles Clippers after Monday night’s game was all the rage on Twitter, for good reason.
After the Clippers beat the Rockets 113-102 in Chris Paul’s revenge game is when the real fun started. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Rockets tried to invade the Clippers’ locker room, sending big man Clint Capela to the front door, while three players — Chris Paul, Trevor Ariza, and Gerald Green — went through a secret tunnel in the back. They reportedly were out looking for Austin Rivers and Blake Griffin.
The Rockets’ invasion of the locker room with military strategy had fans everywhere cracking up. The memes and tweets that ensued were fantastic. Take a look:
