When Fergie performed her hit single "L.A. Love (La La)" at Staples Center during the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers match, all eyes were on Clippers' owner, Steve Ballmer. During the mini concert, Ballmer got up and started dancing quite vigorously.

Now, clips of Ballmer's interpretative dancing have became very popular.


Ballmer's joyous mood most likely stemmed from the Clippers dominant performance, beating the Lakers 114-89. Blake Griffin went nine-for-13 with 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.

"I'll put it this way: He danced exactly how I expected him to," Griffin said in regards to Ballmer's dancing style. "But his enthusiasm was fun."

Chris Paul finished the night with 24 points, going nine-for15.

"It all started with our defensive intensity," the point guard said. "We played with better pace and that starts on the defensive end."

Head coach Doc Rivers stated, "The ball movement was fantastic. The opponent does not matter, you need to make shots. Tonight, we had great spacing and ball movement. We need that every night, but it was beautiful to watch."

The team was playing so well that none of the Clippers' starters needed to come back out in the fourth quarter.

On the other end of the court, Kobe Bryant had a rough start. He missed his first eight shots and went two-for-12. He had a season-low four points with eight rebounds and seven assists.

"I was trying to rush things, change momentum to get us back in it a little bit," Bryant said, "but I didn't play any different than I normally play."

Lakers head coach Bryan Scott added, "I thought we came out soft. I am pretty surprised, surprised and disappointed. I would not say it is the most disappointing, but it is very disappointing."

The Clippers have beaten the Lakers for the fifth consecutive time.
