Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were again involved in a heated exchange during the third quarter of Durant's return to Oklahoma City as a Warrior Wednesday night.
With just under seven minutes to play in the third quarter and Golden State trailing 73-56, Durant dribbled up court and attempted to blow by Westbrook, who knocked the ball out-of-bounds.
