Just in case you missed it last night, L.A. Clippers guard Austin Rivers seemingly got snubbed of a handshake by a referee in the closing seconds of the Clippers' 127-120 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, on Thursday afternoon, Rivers' Clippers teammates in star center DeAndre Jordan and forward Tobias Harris got in on the fun. In response to the video from last night, Jordan and Harris simply couldn't help, but give Rivers a hard time for it on their Twitter accounts.

Getting snubbed of a handshake like that, especially by a ref, was probably not a very good feeling at all for Rivers. Regardless, he had a great game against the Bucks and helped lead the Clippers to victory with 22 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the field (5-of-9 from behind the arc), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes of action.

“We’ve got to be one team, one unit and play with high energy and compete. Let’s play harder than the other team,” Rivers said after Wednesday night's win. “We aren’t going to go out like this. No more bickering. No more questioning each other and the coaches.”
The impressive road victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Clippers, who improved their record to 38-33 and are still on the outside looking in during an extremely tight Western Conference playoff race.
Up next on their schedule, Rivers and the Clippers face yet another tough Eastern Conference foe on the road when they take on the Indiana Pacers on Friday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
