Maybe the question should have been rephrased from the get-go.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul took umbrage at a reporter who basically asked if his team could win its next playoff game against the Utah Jazz to force a Game 7 in their series.
Paul, already smarting from the Clippers’ loss at home to the Jazz to give Utah a 3 to 2 lead, went off on the guy in the postgame presser, For The Win reported.
It started when the reporter asked, “Will the Clippers be back here Sunday playing a Game 7?”
A sneering and dismissive Paul replied, “What you want me to say? No, it’s over?”
