The 2 invested 8 seasons together with the Oklahoma State Warriors and reached the 2011-12 NBA Finals with the group. They have actually not been colleagues because that time however have actually clashed as department competitors a number of times.
In the very first half, Durant had 14 points, 5 helps and 3 rebounds and went 5-of-14 shooting. Westbrook came off the bench and had 9 points, 3 rebounds and one help on 4-of-9 shooting.
Fans required to social networks to applaud the match reveal enjoyment at the match and applaud the 2 for playing difficult versus eachother.
