Oklahoma City Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook got in a tense sideline argument during the fourth quarter of Game 2 of their playoff series with the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
Durant had just missed a shot after Westbrook gave him the ball in a mismatch, but he may have wanted Westbrook to help him by setting a screen. That never came. Then in transition, Danny Green hit a 3-pointer that went undefended by the Thunder.

Perhaps the defensive lapse led to this exchange on the sidelines:

If you say this is a sign that Durant is likely leaving the Thunder as a free agent, that would be a stretch. He and Westbrook get along well. This is just part of what happens during the heat of battle.
