The Rockets-Clippers game on Monday night had a lively ending. Double technicals were handed out to Mike D’Antoni and Blake Griffin with just under four minutes left, and then Griffin and Ariza were ejected a few minutes later.
After the game, it was reported that four Rockets players entered the Clippers’ locker room in search of Austin Rivers and Griffin. It was later reported that Ariza was the aggressor and that some of his teammates were trying to hold him back.
