Watch: Russell Westbrook shoves Jamal Murray
Russell Westbrook got into it with Jamal Murray and other members of the Denver Nuggets at the end of Friday night’s game.
Torrey Craig and Paul George were getting ready for a jump ball in the final minute of the game with Denver leading 107-98 over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook and Murray were jostling for position, and Westbrook shoved Murray.

Nikola Jokic got in the middle of things and tried to get Westbrook to back off. Westbrook then turned his attention to Jokic, telling him to back off.
Westbrook and Murray each received technicals for the scrap.
Westbrook shot just 5/15 in the big Western Conference matchup and was understandably frustrated by the end. As for Murray, whether he’s annoying the Lakers or Westbrook, he’s proven to be a pest.
