After the timeout, Westbrook held the ball and charged through, throwing himself into the air against Little Gasol and winning two free throw opportunities.
He didn't care at all about landing; the way he fell looked quite painful.
Just like James charging in, Westbrook was much more decisive.
James and Ibaka went to help Westbrook up.
But something interesting happened at that moment. Westbrook had initially reached out his hand, but upon seeing James, he suddenly rolled over, propped himself up off the floor, and stood up.
Hansen walked towards the free-throw line, and upon seeing this, was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Westbrook's emotional intelligence was not low, so whether he had ball conflicts with Harden or James, he never let it show off the court.
But just because he didn't show it didn't mean it wasn't there, especially after what had just happened with Hansen provoking James without any response.
