Pachulia delivered a flagrant foul on Westbrook late in the
second quarter of the Warriors' 121-100 rout of the Thunder,
striking the guard in the face as he attempted a shot then
appearing to stand over him as he lay on the court.
"I'm going to get his ass back," Westbrook told reporters. "I
didn't see that (he stood over me) until just now. I'm going to
get his ass back ... whenever that is, I don't know when it's
going to be, but I don't play that game." Tensions were high in
the game, the second between the two sides since Kevin Durant
left Oklahoma for Golden State in the off-season.
Westbrook notched a triple-double of 27 points, 15 rebounds and
13 assists but was on the losing side as Durant scored 40
points.
The two players appeared to exchange brief words during the
third quarter though Westbrook indicated they are still not on
speaking terms following the game.
