This isn’t the first time Russell Westbrook’s gone the Marshawn Lynch route, answering every post-game question with the same trite phrase:
Russell Westbrook answers every question with ‘good execution’
Marshawn style! He also told a reporter he doesn’t like him.

— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) January 17, 2015 He already did this after an ejection on New Year's eve and kinda did it again this week. This is by far the most awkward instance, and he wasn't just grumpy about the game. This was after a big win and one of the best statistical performances of Westbrook's career!
Though I can’t find a specific, recent item Westbrook might find distasteful enough to flat-out say he doesn’t like Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman reporter has certainly been critical of Russ before. And the Oklahoman was behind that whole “Mr. Unreliable” thing with Kevin Durant last season.
Meanwhile:
Kevin Durant's answer to his first question tonight: "Uh, we executed." (hearty laughter ensued)
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) January 17, 2015 Russ has, of course, expressed his displeasure for reporters before.
In closing: Both teams played hard.
