Rockets Russell Westbrook gets in screaming match with Thunder gamers in Game 4

As both teams gathered for their timeout, Westbrook appeared to exchange words with Thunder backup guard Dennis Schroder. Oklahoma Citys Steven Adams eventually took part on the action.

Neither side got near each other, and Rockets trainer Keith Jones stood in front of Westbrook to make certain he didnt attempt to cross midcourt to get closer to the Thunder players.

Throughout the very first timeout of Game 4 of the Rockets-Thunder series, Westbrook entered into a screaming match with several Thunder gamers throughout the court.

As usual, Russell Westbrook was really associated with the Rockets playoff game Monday even though he was in street clothing, nursing a strained quadriceps muscle.
