At least one fan at Staples Center on Thursday wasn't receptive to Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers, who was arguably the team's best player in a blowout 126-109 loss to the Utah Jazz.
With the undermanned Clippers trailing by 19 late in the fourth quarter, Rivers was caught on camera getting into it with a fan sitting courtside, with teammate DeAndre Jordan eventually stepping in to put a halt to the heated discussion.
Rivers led the way with 25 points and six assists on 9-of-16 shooting in 36 minutes, as Los Angeles' three-game winning streak came to an end.
