During the second quarter of tonight's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks, Russell Westbrook and J.J. Barea got their arms tangled up with each other. After what appeared to be Barea taking a swing at Westbrook, the Thunder guard got all up in Barea's face.
Both players were quickly separated from one another, but not before Charlie Villanueva tried to choke out Westbrook.
Now, it makes sense why Russ would spaz out in that situation, right? Villanueva was tossed from the game. Later in the game, Westbrook let Barea get under his skin again.
He was slapped with another technical foul and ejected from the contest as well.
