Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul flopped the wrong way as Houston Rockets guard James Harden went up for a shot.

The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers are right next to each other in the Western Conference standings. Houston is currently in the No. 4 seed while the Clippers are just a 1.5 games back in the No. 5 seed. With the playoffs right around the corner, there is a very real chance these two teams could meet in the first round.

Sunday, the two teams squared off in Los Angeles as Blake Griffin returned in a game with big implications for both teams in terms of home-court advantage in the playoffs.

Early in the first quarter, MVP candidate James Harden, with a full head of steam drove hard to the hoop as he went up for the layup.

Unfortunately, Chris Paul was in his way, and the two collided with each other.

Harden went crashing to the floor after hitting a player at full speed.

Paul however, was barely touched and flopped to the floor. The most ridiculous part wasn’t the flop, it was that he flopped in the wrong direction.

His wrong-way flop actually made it look like he was avoiding contact than actually going for it.

It was a terrible flop but a perfect impression of a matador.
