Thunder star Russell Westbrook is known to get in his opponents’ heads during games, and Wednesday’s showdown against the Lakers at Staples Center was no different.
Westbrook was fired up late in the second quarter after Paul George put the moves on Lance Stephenson, then pulled up and drained a jumper. Not only that, he was fouled on the play as well, yet still made the shot.

The three-point play opportunity provided the Thunder with a nice spark in the final minute of the half, and Westbrook made sure to let Stephenson know about it. He mocked Stephenson’s air guitar gesture right in front of the Lakers veteran.

Westbrook blew Stephenson a kiss as well while George prepared to attempt the free throw that followed.

It’s no secret that Westbrook’s troll game is among the strongest — if not the strongest — in the NBA. He continues to deliver with funny moments such as this one.
