Intro:

Post-game reaction after the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Golden State Warriors 113-103 in Game 5 of their Western Conference opening-round playoff series on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Earlier in the day, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life for making racist comments in a recorded conversation, the first step toward forcing a sale of the club and permanently removing Sterling from the league. Silver also fined Sterling $2.5 million, and again expressed outrage.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers Guard:

"It was amazing running out for warm ups and to see all the people lined up, to see our fans and to Golden State I said I wasn't sure what we would come back to. It was emotional, it was very emotional and I can't say thank you enough to all our fans that came out and supported us."
