Westbrook dove on the floor for a loose ball before Wold Peace tried to tie him up for a jump ball. The Thunder called a timeout, and as the players were separating, it appeared World Peace dropped a knee into Westbrook. Westbrook then reacted and the two players were separated. It was hard to tell if there was intent behind the knee or if it was just a result of World Peace trying to untangle from Westbrook. In any event, Westbrook took exception.
