Russell Westbrook kicks ball, feuds with Damian Lillard in loss
During the Portland Trail Blazers' 114-95 stomping of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard and Thunder star Russell Westbrook had themselves a little tiff.
The exchange took place shortly after Westbrook kicked the ball away from Lillard as both teams were preparing to head back to their respective benches for a timeout.

WELL THEN...
The next time these two superstars face off against each other is February 5th in Oklahoma City, and you can bet your butt that neither will forget what went down in Portland Tuesday night.
