With three minutes left in the third quarter, Russell Westbrook walked up the sideline to inbound the ball, and a young fan sitting courtside reached out and hit him on the arm. Westbrook spun around and stared at him. The child sat down.

“He hit me,” Westbrook said, “So I told his dad, ‘be careful, man, you can’t have your son just hitting random people. I don’t know him, he don’t know me. So, just letting him know, ‘You’ve just got to control your kids.’”

Russell Westbrook pulled the dad card on a Nuggets fan after the kid gave him a little push.
