Mirza Teletovic's late-game shot angers Clippers' Austin Rivers

Published Nov. 13, 2015 10:06 a.m. ET

In the closing seconds of Thursday night's contest between the Clippers and the Suns, Phoenix was leading by 11 points, and had possession of the ball with 10 seconds left. 

The shot clock was off, and there was no reason to shoot. But Mirza Teletovic launched a three-pointer anyway, and after it splashed home, he got an earful from the Clippers' Austin Rivers, who didn't appreciate the fact that Teletovic was running up the score.

Teletovic has played sparingly this season, and has taken just 25 shots in total through his team's first eight games. He probably just wanted to get an additional rep in, and had no intention of embarrassing the Clippers.

But as we've seen elsewhere recently, this act of taking shots when the game has already been decided doesn't sit well at all with players on the losing end of the situation.
