The Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-100 on Wednesday and Russell Westbrook is already plotting his revenge. Specifically against Warriors big man Zaza Pachulia.
Russell Westbrook says he’s going to get Zaza Pachulia’s ‘a** back’ for hard hit
Pachulia was whistled for a flagrant foul late in the second quarter after he knocked Westbrook to the court. He also stared him down while standing over him.
After the game, Westbrook spoke about the play. He said he wasn’t sure what happened, but that Pachulia hit him pretty hard. He then vowed to “get his ass back” for the foul.
“I don’t know, he hit me kinda hard. It’s alright, I’m going to get his ass back, straight up.”
Westbrook was then asked if at the time he noticed Pachulia standing over him.
“No I didn’t see that until just now, but I don’t play that game. I’m going to get his ass back. Whenever that is, I don’t when it’s going to be, but I don’t play that game.”
It could be fairly soon, as the Warriors travel to Oklahoma City on Feb. 11.
It seems Westbrook now has two rivals on the Warriors. Despite appearing to chat at one point during the game, Westbrook said he and Kevin Durant are not on speaking terms.
