Looks like a serious rivalry is forming there with the way things have gone this season.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors entered their first-round playoff series with a lot of talk about how much they hate each other. They were still jawing at each other even after it ended, with police and other security personnel summoned to calm down a hallway altercation between the teams after the Clippers' series-clinching 126-121 Game 7 victory on Saturday night.

"It was a crazy scene," a source who witnessed the incident told Yahoo Sports.

After the game ended, the Warriors thought they heard a Clippers assistant coach yell, "It's a little quiet in there," several times outside their locker room, multiple sources said. Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Steve Blake were the first to dart from the locker room and confronted some Clippers ball boys in the hallway between both locker rooms, a source said. The Warriors' coaching staff and players followed Curry and Blake into the hallway where they also confronted Clippers staff members and some players, including forward Glen Davis, sources said.

Jeremiah Rivers, the son of Clippers coach Doc Rivers, said on Twitter that Warriors center Marreese Speights "barged into" the Clippers' locker room, but that was not confirmed. He later deleted the tweet. Another source said Davis and Speights yelled at each other with Speights having to be held back. No punches were thrown, but a lot of screaming took place. The Los Angeles Police Department and game security calmed the situation, a source said.
Between postgame news conferences, Clippers coach Doc Rivers stopped Warriors coach Mark Jackson for a private conversation in the locker room hallway. It's uncertain if they were talking about the incident. The bad blood between the teams included a chippy Christmas game; the Clippers deciding to have separate pregame chapel services from the Warriors; Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal and Clippers forward Blake Griffin engaging in a shouting match after a game; and Rivers and Jackson making multiple snide remarks toward one another during the playoff series.

The fallout from the racist comments made by Clippers owner Donald Sterling and uncertainty over Jackson's future with the Warriors only heightened the drama in the series, which produced thrilling basketball and went the maximum seven games.

Mark Jackson's fairly low class, especially for a head coach. The Warriors have adopted his personality the last couple of years.

A bunch of flopping Clippers and wanna-be tough guy Warriors yelled at each other?

Man, this really got out of hand. I'm surprised they didn't call in the National Guard.

The teams appeared complimentary towards each other on the court and in the press conference following the game. Really unfortunate if anyone from the Clippers organization taunted the Warriors from the hallway.

Could it be Kings Lakers?

This has been building all season starting with the chippy play earlier in the year. Nothing surprising here. GSW has been picking fights with other teams for some time now, or are we so quick to forget their hard fouls against the Rockets to prevent us from breaking the 3 point record?

The only time you really see something like this in today's NBA is when one side acts like jerks. GSW has done a good job with that.

Funny considering the Warriors were flopping around and a lot more than the Clips in that series.

This series had so many classless/punk players and coach.

Mark Jackson
Chris Paul
Dreymond Green
Blake Griffin
Maurice Speights
Matt Barnes
Glen Davis
Andrew Boguts (on the injured list)

They showed their true colors even towards the end.

They should have just killed each other.

This wasn't initiated by anyone important. After the game, all of the difference-making players were hugging and dappin up.

Sounds like this was the work of some scrubs or staff.
