Things got chippy between Denver Nuggets' Russell Westbrook and Detroit Pistons' Isaiah Stewart. The Nuggets took care of business against the Pistons on Saturday, 134-121. Footage of the leaked audio interaction between the two was posted on YouTube.
In the middle of the third quarter, Westbrook tried to drive to the basket but was called for an offensive foul. After the whistle was blown, the veteran point guard wanted to dunk the ball but Stewart tried to stop him.
Because of the big man's physicality, Westbrook tried to protect himself and used his elbow against Stewart. After the play, the Nuggets guard complained to the official about the call and kept asking him the reason for the foul call. Following that play, the nine-time All-Star redeemed himself after getting a defensive stop by drawing a charging foul on Cade Cunningham.
