Chris Paul wants to beat the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs bad. Real bad.

The All-Star point guard linked up with DeAndre Jordan for some Lob City rim rattling during Game 6 on Thursday night, before the Los Angeles Clippers scored a 102-96 win and forced a Game 7, which will be played Saturday night.

CP3 wound up with 19 points and 15 assists, adding to Blake Griffin's 26 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

"It was probably one of the most relaxed games we've had as far as our mentality," Paul told ESPN after the game. "We just stayed the course. Tonight was one of the funnest games of the series. It seems like it's easy to say that because we won. That definitely helps, but just the intensity of it. I think we just never got rattled."

Where there won't be a Game 7 is the Chicago Bulls-Milwaukee Bucks series. That's because the Bulls absolutely hammered—no...destroyed—the Bucks, 120-66, in Game 6 Thursday night to eliminate Milwaukee from the playoffs. Jimmy Butler had 16 points, five assists and four steals in the Bulls' win, which came close to being the most lopsided postseason victory in NBA playoff history. Peep Jimmy Buckets dunk this ball home on a great feed from Joakim Noah.

Speaking about Noah, he has the series he wanted, with the Bulls now set to face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in their Eastern Conference semifinal series beginning Monday. That's a Cavs team, which will be without Kevin Love, who had shoulder surgery earlier this week.
