Through the first games of the 1st-round matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and OKC Thunder — there was hardly any trash talk from the lower seed as they headed home to get back into the series.
Throughout Game 3 and once the game was in hand, Westbrook had a bunch of trash to talk towards Damian Lillard which brought out the killer instinct in Dame Dolla.
Following his epic Game-winning 3 to send the Blazers into the second round, Lillard logged on to Twitter and many took noticed of a post that he ‘liked’ that featured him holding Russell Westbrook in his arms:
That is a clear shot at Westbrook and his celebration of rocking the cradle that he had been doing all season long.
After averaging 33 PPG and dropping 50 points in the clincher, that rock the cradle move needs to be retired.
