<p>For those still wondering what exactly happened last night during the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/">Memphis Grizzlies</a>, the video below will reveal what some are buzzing about. In the vid, you'll see <span>Russell Westbrook</span> penetrate into the paint only to dish it out to a wide open <span>Thabo Sefolosha</span> on the wing. But instead of taking the wide open look from three-point range, Sefolosha passes up the opportunity, setting off Westbrook in a rant in which he yells, "Shoot the f--king ball." Check it out for yourself:</p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> fans are hoping there's no love lost between their two stars <span>Kevin Durant</span> and <span>Russell Westbrook</span>. But even if they are, certainly the history between <span>Kobe Bryant</span> and Shaquille O'Neal shows that even the two cannot get along, they can still win on the court. That will be tested tonight as the Thunder takes on the defending NBA Champion <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/">Dallas Mavericks</a>.</p>
<p>Last night, Westbrook and Durant got into an altercation on the bench after Westbrook was obviously frustrated with <span>Thabo Sefolosha</span> for failing to take a wide-open three-pointer. After the game, Durant only had praise for his teammate and said it was no big deal. The Thunder won the game over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/">Memphis Grizzlies</a> last night 98-95, but it's clear the story of the night was still the fight between the two. Others were involved in trying to settle down Westbrook, but it was Durant's approach later on that set him off. Check out Durant's post-game response below:</p>

<p>While everything seems like it’s all well and good with Oklahoma City basketball this season given the 3-0 start for the Thunder including victory over teams like the Magic and Grizzlies, there was some tension boiling on the bench last night between the team’s star players: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.</p>
<p>Nearing the end of the second quarter, Westbrook was upset with guard Thabo Sefolosha after he passed up an open look from three-point range. After coming back to the bench still upset, Sefolosha and others tried to call him down to no avail. A while later, Durant said something to him as well and Westbrook apparently didn’t like it, bringing things to a boil as the two began shouting at each other on the bench.</p>
<p>The two seemed settled after the game and Durant said as much in his post-game comments.</p>
<p>“We’re going to disagree sometimes, like I’ve always been saying,” <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/Kevin-Durant-Russell-Westbrook-in-altercation-122811" target="new">Durant said</a>. “But I’m behind him 110 percent, and he’s the same way with me. And you seen when we came on the floor we clicked and everything started to work from there.”</p>
<p>The Thunder won’t have much time at all to let it settle since they play the defending world champion Dallas Mavericks tonight.</p>
