The Russell Westbrook vs. Patrick Beverley rivalry continues.
With OKC fighting to keep their season alive, Game 5 on Tuesday night was an intense one. In the fourth quarter, things got chippy between Russ and Beverley:

The Brodie finished with 47 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists, on 15/34 from the field, but Houston secured the 105-99 victory to advance to the second round.
In their postgame press conferences, both players talked smack when asked about the minor scuffle:
