The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks took less than 24 hours to make things right.

In Philadelphia on Wednesday, Russell Westbrook was making his way off the court when a fan decided to pour popcorn on his head. The Washington Wizards superstar had to be held back from going into the stands and attcking the guy.
