Almost a month ago, Beverley mocked Westbrook's shooting style, and Westbrook responded by calling Beverley trash. The game before that, Beverley was fouled out and Westbrook waved as he walked out. Later, Russell spoke about Beverley to a sports channel. He called the defender out, stating that he does not guard anybody, and only runs around. Beverley and Westbrook's feud dates back to 2013 NBA playoffs when Westbrook injured his knee. Beverley had gone for the ball after a timeout and ended up tearing his meniscus. Westbrook was sidelined and missed the playoffs. The Rockets and LA Clippers will play again on March 5, 2020 (March 6, 2020 IST).
