After the Oklahoma City Thunder lost Game 3 of its first-round NBA playoff series to the Utah Jazz, Russell Westbrook said he was going to “shut that (expletive) down.” Ricky Rubio had scored 26 points and completed a triple-double as Utah took a two-games-to-one lead in the series.
After the Thunder lost Game 4 Monday night, Westbrook said people were reading too much into the matchup between him and Rubio.
Wait, what?
“It was not about me and him,” Westbrook said. “Let’s get past that. We’re done with that.”
OK, then.
