Things got a bit heated between Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and an incessantly yapping Atlanta Hawks fan. After the OKC Thunder’s 101-92 win on Tuesday night, Westbrook had to be yanked away before things escalated. Per the Oklahoman: “Maybe he was going to talk to 2 Chainz, a famous rapper who was in attendance. Or possibly Durant, the NFL fan he is, was going over to pay respect to Kordell Stewart, the former Steelers quarterback who was also spotted at the arena on Tuesday. Nope and nope. As it became clear moments after Durant reached the sideline, he was searching out a particular fan who seemed to be annoying both him and some of his teammates throughout the game. […] Kevin Durant, in a clear sarcastic tone: ‘He really respected how we played the game. He just wanted to tell all of us one-by-one.’ Russell Westbrook, when asked if the fan was chirping at him: ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Kendrick Perkins on the fan: ‘Sometimes they can get a little disrespectful.'”
