The Houston Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Clipper 115-109 on Wednesday night to even their Western Conference playoff series at one game apiece.
The Clippers were not graceful in defeat, at least forward Matt Barnes wasn’t. The 35-year-old apparently got into a heated exchange with none other than the mother of Rockets star James Harden. Mrs. Willis was close to courtside and must have said a little light trash talk to Barnes at one moment in the festivities.
Barnes, however, responded in a none-gentlemanly way. Apparently his remark was so off-color, Harden’s mom refused to even relay its message, telling TMZ Sports "We'll leave that on the court."
Rumors blacksportsonline is that Barnes told Ms. Willis to "suck [his] d*ck."

One of Willis’ other sons was sitting next to her when Barnes lobbied his remarks. He got so heated in reaction to them that he actually had to confront Barnes on the court following the final buzzer. Whatever the son said to Barnes knocked some sense into him, because the Clippers forward walked over to the woman and apologized.
"My older son walked over to him and told him to apologize ... and he did," she told TMZ Sports. "What he told me was that he would never want to disrespect anyone's mother because his mother passed from cancer ... and that he was sorry. I accept his apology."
This isn't the last time Barnes and a Harden had bad blood with one another:
