Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook have had a feud going since 2013, when Bev went for a controversial steal that led to Russ’s torn meniscus. Understandably, their five-game battle during the first round created several heated moments between them as they viciously went at each other. Things culminated on Tuesday night during the Houston Rockets’ final win over the Thunder.
About halfway through the fourth quarter, Bev and Russ got into it with some good, old fashioned trash talk. Surprisingly enough, it didn’t end in blows. Instead, the refs handed out a double-technical and the game went on.
