Video: Four Players Ejected After Lakers-Clippers Scuffle

The Clippers came from seven points down with just over seven minutes remaining to beat the Lakers on Sunday, and Blake Griffin was largely the man responsible. After a slow start due to some early foul trouble, Griffin exploded for 10 points and eight rebounds in the final quarter, and played hard to the very end -- something that obviously didn't sit well with Lamar Odom.

With 5.7 seconds remaining and the Clippers' Randy Foye hitting the second of two free throws to put his team up nine, Griffin and Odom got tangled up as the two fought for position. Odom didn't like the fact that Griffin was working so hard for a potential rebound with the game already decided, so he took him by the jersey and flung Griffin out of bounds.

Video of the incident can be seen in the clip below.



Griffin didn't react, but Baron Davis sure did. And of course, Ron Artest was right there to come to Odom's defense. All four players involved were ejected for their role in the incident, even though Griffin and Artest really didn't do anything to deserve it.
