The LA Clippers lost 116-105 to the Houston Rockets on Sunday, but fans ended the night with a smile on their faces and free chicken sandwiches.
Much like many other sports teams, the Clippers have a promotion that can give fans free food should certain conditions happen in a game. For the Clippers, fans can get a free chicken sandwich if the visiting team misses two consecutive free throws in the fourth quarter.
Despite the very specific conditions, everything worked out perfectly for the Clippers' fans and thanks to former player Boban Marjanović.
Rockets' Marjanović intentionally missed two free throws in the final quarter, making it very clear what he was doing. Once he missed the second free throw, he even started celebrating with the fans.
The game didn't mean anything for the Rockets, as they were already eliminated from the play-offs. The Clippers, meanwhile, were already locked into a match-up with the Dallas Mavericks already in the first round of the play-offs.
