The last game of the season for the Los Angeles Clippers ended in a win over the Phoenix Suns, which helped them seal the 5th seed. The Clippers will be facing the Suns again in the first round of the playoffs. However, the game did not end on a good note as another fight broke out on the Clippers’ bench shortly after the Rudy Gobert altercation in another game. This led fans to wonder what is going on with teams in the league right now.
Rudy Gobert ended up punching his teammate Kyle Anderson as the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the New Orleans Pelicans for the crunch game on Sunday. And it did not even take an hour for another altercation to break out between teammates.

The Los Angeles Clippers managed to take down the Phoenix Suns but at the cost of the team?s chemistry possibly getting hampered going into the playoffs. Clippers center Mason Plumlee and Bones Hyland both could be seen in each other?s faces on the bench.
As both teams prepared for the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers seemed to need more time to regroup. The disagreement happened over a defensive breakdown by the Clippers which Plumlee was not happy about.
As the two argued over the bench, Bones Hyland ended up shoving the 6?11 center. Teammates quickly intervened before things could get more out of hand between the two. The Clippers still managed to take care of business as they defeated the Phoenix Suns in a 119-114 win.
After the game, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue was asked to shed some light on the disagreement between his teammates. Lue said, ?Yeah if you ain?t getting it right, fight. It?s a big game, so if it ain?t right, do something to fix it. And after that little skirmish, we took off and played a lot better so maybe we should do that more often.?
