Report: 3 Rockets tried to enter Clippers' locker room to confront Griffin, Rivers
The craziness continued postgame as the Houston Rockets were heated after losing to the LA Clippers.
While the end of the game was wild on the court, it turns out that was nothing compared to the ruckus that took place after the game.
Following the loss, a few Rockets stars reportedly decided to pay the Clippers locker room a visit in an attempt to confront Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.
Houston Rockets’ players James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green pushed into Clippers locker room post-game looking to confront Austin Rivers, league sources tell ESPN. Security escorted Rockets out before anything turned physical.

Rockets players were clamoring for Blake Griffin too, league sources said. Chris Paul also entered with other Rockers players through a backstory that connects team dressing rooms. https://t.co/BRgyHe1WgL

Wojnarowski later clarified it was "back door," not "backstory."
And to add to the fun, the LAPD had to be called to help calm the Monday night madness:
LAPD was called into the locker room area. Now hearing Chris Paul stayed out of it, 3 Rockets players were going after Austin Rivers.
