Patrick Beverley mocks Russell Westbrook's missed shot, Westbrook calls him 'trash' again
Patrick Beverly and Russell Westbrook go at each other yet again after the Rockets star missed his wide-open three-point shot while handed his team the loss.
Los Angeles Clippers edged out Houston Rocket 122-119 in a nail-biting finish to the NBA game at Staples Center. Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard hit the game-winning mid-range jumper with 15.4 seconds left to give the Clippers a 120-119 edge. Houston Rockets' Russel Westbrook missed a 3-point shot which was collected by Clippers forward Paul George who was fouled. He then sank both free throws to take the lead for his team.

Rockets vs Clippers: Patrick Beverley mocks Russell Westbrook
Russell Westbrook had a chance to give Rockets a two-point lead in the dying second of the fourth quarter, but he missed his wide-open 3-pointer shot and Rockets lost the match. While Westbrook was dejected, the missed shot brought immense joy to old foe Patrick Beverley, who taunted the former Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Beverly was seen mocking Westbrook’s shooting form and the Rockets guard fired back at him by repeatedly calling him “trash”.
Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook feud dates back to 2013
The feud between the two goes way back when Beverley, who was a member of the Rockets several years ago, sidelined the then Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star while attempting to steal the ball on a timeout.
There are two more Rockets-Clippers games in the season and this would certainly provide more highlights between the two.
