The hot tempers that flared up during the Los Angeles Clippers' NBA victory over the Houston Rockets have carried over after the game.
Several security guards were present outside the Rockets' locker room on Monday night following a 113-102 loss to the Clippers that got heated on the court.
Citing anonymous NBA sources, ESPN reported several Rockets players headed toward the Clippers' locker room afterward, seeking a confrontation, but were escorted away by security before anything got physical.
Asked about it, Clippers coach Doc Rivers would only say his team were in their own locker room.
"Their entire team was not in their locker room," he said, referring to the Rockets.
Walking into his post-game interview, Rivers joked, "We're honouring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're non-violent."
Asked if there was a post-game confrontation, Rockets guard and former Clippers star Chris Paul dodged the question.
It came on a day which featured several ejections from NBA games, including Australian and Philadelphia star Ben Simmons, Oklahoma City star Russell Westbrook and Clippers power forward Blake Griffin.
