Russell Westbrook talked a lot of trash during the Thunder’s first-round loss to the Trail Blazers last year. Damian Lillard got the last word, hitting the series-winning shot and coolly waving bye.
Lillard said he and Westbrook are cool off the court. On the court? Even after moving onto the Rockets, Westbrook is still yapping at Lillard.

"A foul is a bucket. Can't guard me. Impossible."

Two big problems:
1. Houston was down big late, on its way to a 117-107 loss.
2. Westbrook missed the first free throw! A foul was, in fact, not as good as a bucket.
Westbrook stays on brand.
So does Lillard, who got the last laugh:
