Kendrick Perkins was quite upset with the Clippers' performance. He vented out his frustrations in an X post on Wednesday.

"The Clippers should be ashamed of themselves. It’s bad enough that Luka eyes light up every time he sees them on the schedule… but for Reaves and Bron to give them that work as well. Is just crazy. At some point they gotta have some type of pride," he tweeted.
