CP3 draws mixed reception in return to L.A.
LOS ANGELES -- Chris Paul's first couple of touches Monday night drew hearty boos from a segment of LA Clippers fans at the Staples Center. Cheers roared from other fans after Paul's first bucket against his former team.
Such was the mixed reaction to the return of Paul, who was arguably the best player in the Clippers' mostly miserable history but opted to leave Los Angeles to join the Rockets last summer.
The boos weren't the reason it was a disappointing return for Paul, as the injury-ravaged Clippers handed the Rockets a 113-102 loss.
