Clippers forward Tobias Harris was being interviewed on the Moda Center court late Sunday when teammate Danilo Gallinari appeared at his shoulder, holding a bottle of water.
Harris juked to his right to avoid a bath, but the bottle’s cap was off and Gallinari was insistent.
Yet after enduring the toughest stretch of their schedule, the Clippers own the Western Conference’s best record after yet another second-half rally — this time coming from 15 down in the second half to beat Portland, 104-100. Even after Harris’ impromptu shower, the Clippers (13-6) have yet to cool off.
“When you play us we want you to be fatigued mentally, physically and emotionally,” said center Montrezl Harrell, who scored 14 points with 10 rebounds.
