Here's a Frustrated Russell Westbrook Picking a Fight with Marc Gasol

The Thunder lost again the preseason, but that’s not the story, because nobody cares about the result. Russell Westbrook only played 15 minutes, was 5-of-11 shooting, but his most memorable moment came when he tried to pick a fight with Marc Gasol.

We know Westbrook is going to get his points, rebounds and assists this year, but the losses are going to mount. He’s been a passionate (read: Hot Headed) player his entire career, and expect emotions like this to bubble up frequently when the Thunder struggle.

Afterward, Westbrook was his usual self:
