When the Clippers lost those back-to-back games to the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, it didn’t sit well with Chauncey Billups.

Though Billups is recovering from surgery to repair a torn left Achilles’ tendon, the 15-year veteran let his teammates know that their play was unacceptable.

All the Clippers listened closely to what their leader had to say, and then responded in the right way by winning their next two games.

“Chauncey gave us a pretty stern talking to,” center DeAndre Jordan said. “So we had to pick it up.”
