Jonas Valanciunas and Russell Westbrook got into heated scuffle


The Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas tried to pick up the basketball to inbound it after a foul was called on the Thunder during their game in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. That sounds like a pretty normal thing that happens many times in games.

However, this time, Westbrook was holding the ball and he didn't like that the big man was trying to take it out of his hands, so the OKC star flailed, popped up on his feet and got in the 7-footer's face. Then, Steven Adams tried to defend him as a bunch of other players tried to prevent anything else from happening.

A double technical was called on Westbrook and Valanciunas.

About a minute after that, a double foul was called on Adams and Valanciunas after Adams was thrown on the floor.

This is one of those games.
