Things were heated across the NBA on Sunday, as teammates on more than one NBA franchise got into sideline altercations during what was the final day of the regular season. That included some players on the Clippers.

While the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Phoenix Suns 119-114 to secure the fifth spot in the Western Conference, the team trailed 86-82 after three quarters. That led to a heated exchange between Bones Hyland and Mason Plumlee.

The two players remained in the game despite their high-running emotions. Hyland was eventually subbed out with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, while Plumlee played nearly the entire end stanza

Plumlee finished with nine points in 22 minutes, while Hyland had 11 points in 18 minutes.

In addition to the altercation between the Clippers teammates, the Timberwolves featured some huddle tension. Rudy Gobert swung at one of his teammates and was sent home.
