Russell Westbrook’s Heated Moment With Suns Fan Caught on Video: ‘Watch Your Mouth, M-----------’
The Clippers took Game 1 of their first-round series with the Suns, 115-110, on Sunday night in Phoenix in an intense game that had stars on both sides lighting it up.
There was also one fiery moment that took place off the court when cameras caught Clippers guard Russell Westbrook getting into it with a Suns fan while making his way back to the court after halftime.
This setup of having the opposing team run through the club section at Footprint Center, the home of the Suns, doesn’t seem to be ideal, especially during a heated playoff game.
One fan apparently said something to Westbrook, who fired back at him before going back on the floor.
Warning: There’s NSFW language in this video.
That sort of access for fans who likely have been drinking seems pretty ill-advised, but apparently it has been going on all year.
The NBA is looking into the situation, according to TNT’s Chris Haynes.
Game 2 of the series is back in Phoenix on Tuesday night. Hopefully fans don’t act that way again.
