Fun at the Clipper’s Game

A number of athletes, friends and family enjoyed a group outing at Staples Center as the Clippers took on the Sacramento Kings. As an added bonus, the Clippers let the group watch the pre-game warm-ups, then led everybody to the court for a group picture right next to Wesley Johnson practicing his 3-pointers! In the 4th quarter, the Clippers and Chick-Fil-A had a “Fowl Shot” contest. If the Kings missed 2 “fowl” shot free throws, everybody wins a free chicken sandwich. The group did their best to distract the Kings’ free throw shooters – and one of them missed both free throws. Everybody won that Chick-Fil-A sandwich! The game was very exciting, ending with a Clippers victory 126-105.
