There’s no love lost between Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook. The players have been feuding for years and even got into a little dust up during today’s game 5 of the Rockets-Thunder playoff series.

After the Rockets eliminated the Thunder tonight, Beverley fired some shots over Russ’s way.
“[Russ] looked up and said, ‘No one can guard me, I got 40 points.’ I’m like, that’s nice, you took 34 shots to get it,” Beverley said.
“I’m not out here trying to bash anybody,” he added. “Men lie, women lie, but the numbers don’t. Collectively as a unit we did a good job on him.”

Westbrook fired back at Beverley a few minutes later.

Beverley does have a point about Westbrook’s ball hogging.
