MANILA, Philippines – It looks like the Russell Westbrook-Kevin Durant rivalry is only heating up.
Both players met as opponents for the second time this season on Wednesday, January 18 (Thursday morning, Manila time), with the Golden State Warriors once again blowing out the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, 121-100.
Both stars were impressive. Westbrook had 27 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists, while Durant had 40 points and 12 boards.
During the third period, Westbrook put his explosive athleticism on display by throwing down a vicious one-handed slam. Although he didn’t put his former teammate on a poster, Durant tried to go for a block and was unable to contain OKC’s point guard.
After converting the jam, Westbrook looked back at his former teammate, who then responded with a 3-pointer.
Watch the sequence above.
Although Westbrook’s overall performance was impressive, there was however a part where he forget an important fundamental of the game: dribbling:
