18 Twitter jokes about Rockets confrontation

Charles Curtis, USA TODAY Published 8:07 a.m. ET Jan. 16, 2018

The Clippers-Rockets game ended with some potential fisticuffs that nearly spilled over into an incident off the court.

The Rockets' Chris Paul, Trevor Ariza, James Harden and Gerald Green went through a back door to the Clippers' locker room in an attempt to confront Austin Rivers and Blake Griffin, two people with knowledge of what transpired who asked for anonymity because of the nature of the incident told USA TODAY Sports. The Rockets' Clint Capela also attempted to access the Clippers' locker room, but through the front door.

Staples Center security prevented the Rockets players from entering the Clippers' locker room, and there was no physical altercation.

That led to a lot of jokes and memes on Twitter. Here are a bunch, starting with Clippers star Blake Griffin:
