I skipped and scanned through the second half, but I didn't see any slips. If there weren't any, then I'm sort of inclined to believe they didn't do a good job of cleaning the floor before the game started and fixed it at halftime.
The other possible issue is that the flooring is kept in a different area of the the arena than the main playing area. With the doors opening and a bunch of people coming in and out I would bet that the arena warmed up a bit with all their breath and such in the air. The Clippers floor would have warmed with the rest of the contents of the building.
Now we bring in the Lakers floor. Which has likely been in a storage room with no one going in or out and the AC for the building running fairly high to keep the main area cool. Want to bet that there was a 5 to 10 degree difference in how warm the flooring was? Now add in a fairly high humidity building that is also cooling during the time period between games when the fans aren't there. I'm not thinking there was a huge amount of water just a real thin slick in places on top of the wax. It really didn't have much if anything to do with the ice underneath the insulation there should take care of it. But changing the floor and not having much time between games likely did.
I don't think it will be a problem for the spurs game though as long as the floor gets changed again last night and I can also pretty much guarantee that dust mops will be run over the floor at the least before warm-ups and right before the game which should really take care of the amount of moisture in question.
