L.A. Clippers Players -- PUBLIC ACTS OF DEFIANCE ... During Playoff Game

The L.A. Clippers took a public stand TOGETHER against Donald Sterling when they stepped on the court for today's playoff game ... starting with throwing their Clippers warm-up jackets in a pile at center court.

The team has also decided to wear their warm up shirts INSIDE OUT ... hiding the Clippers logo.

As for the players on the court, they're all sporting the regular jerseys ... right-side-out ... along with black wristbands and black socks ... to symbolize their disdain for Sterling.
