Russell Westbrook and Marc Gasol have had run-ins in the past but those games actually mattered so it’s easy to understand the competitive juices of each player getting the best of them. Last night was a meaningless preseason game and the two players still had to be separated before a real fight may have broke out.

In the clip, you see Gasol give Russ a shove from behind and then things got interesting. Players from both teams were fast to get between them but there definitely seems to be some animosity going on with both guys.

After the game, Russ explained “He hit me & I hit him back. I dont play that. If I get hit, I hit back. That is how I was brought up. That is how I was taught.”

Considering yesterday was the same day that Russ was told about KD’s “selfless” comments, to which he responded “that’s cute”, it probably was not smart for anyone to mess with him.
