On Christmas day the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors in an epic game on a Kyrie Irving game-winning shot with three seconds left in the game.
Shortly after the game ended, a video circulated of Oklahoma City Thunder star and Kevin Durant’s former teammate Russell Westbrook draining the final shot of his warmup before a Christmas game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. At the end of the video, many thought Westbrook shouted “Thank you, Kyrie” after the shot.

Westbrook was asked about the video after beating the Timberwolves and this was his response.
