Clippers owner allegedly makes racist comments
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is the center of attention after allegedly making racist remarks about African Americans, more specifically, targeting former NBA player Magic Johnson.
the nine-minute conversation is supposedly between Sterling and his girlfriend. It was posted on TMZ's website and went viral overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning. Sterling said that he does not want African American fans at his games, nor does he want his girlfriend taking pictures on Instagram with African Americans.
Johnson was open to his feelings on the issue on Twitter.
"I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling the owner," Johnson said. "I feel sorry for my friends, coach Doc Rivers and
Chris Paul, that they have to work for a man that feels that way about African Americans."
The Clippers' front office issued a statement to TMZ, trying to deflect the comments that have been attributed to Sterling. The Clippers said in the statement that the recording of the conversation is "not consistent" with Sterling's views, beliefs or feelings.
Clippers president Andy Roeser spoke out in a separate release and
said that he and the organization is unsure if the tape is legitimate "or has been altered."
Sterling wasn't in attendance on Sunday when the Clippers played Golden State. Instead, his wife was sitting front row — yes, Sterling has a wife and a girlfriend.
Sterling nor his wife have made a statement about the audio.
Sterling's girlfriend, reportedly named V. Stivi-

Thunder beat Grizzlies 92-89 in OT, tie up series
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Reggie Jackson came off the bench and outscored teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook by himself. The Oklahoma City Thunder needed every point from their top reserve to win yet another overtime game against Memphis.
Jackson scored a personal playoff-best 32 points, and the Thunder beat the Grizzlies 92-89 Saturday night, tying up
their first-round Western Conference series at two apiece.
The Thunder sure needed him to avoid going back home in a 3-1 hole after three straight
"Reggie played an outstanding basketball game," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He was able to attack and finish around the rim like he's done all year; and I knew he would bounce back ... He's done a great job of coming in and giving us that lift offensively when we needed it as a sixth man."
overtime games.
Jackson had only scored 15 points combined in this series, but the guard shook off his shooting woes by hitting 11 of 16. Durant and Russell Westbrook, who struggled through their worst scoring game of the series with a combined 11 of 45 and 15 points apiece.
He said a few made layups finally got him going. Jackson said Durant and Westbrook were allowing him to play.
"They told me to just keep going and be aggressive," Jackson said.
The Thunder blew a 14-point lead with Memphis, and the Grizzlies blew a third straight fourth-quarter lead themselves. Jackson tied up Memphis with five straight points in the final minute of regulation, and he hit all six free throws in overtime as the Thunder survived an extra period with seven lead changes.
"They're running plays for him with Durant and West-
brooks spaced out." Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "If you're going down, my hat's off to them, both guys did a great job, and Reggie Jackson did a great job just being in attack mode."
Durant's two free throws with 1.02 left in overtime put the Thunder ahead to stay.
"One of the things I was pleased about was the way Russ and KD took a backseat tonight and let Reggie take over," Thunder center Kend-
tick perkins said that say. lot about them also."
Game five is Tuesday night back in Oklahoma City.
Mike Conley missed a 26-footer just before the buzzer that could have forced a second extra period. Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka also blocked a Tony Allen shot with 2.7 seconds left in regulation to keep the Thunder alive for overtime.
The Thunder won for only the second time in seven playoff games in Memphis.
