Watch: Russell Westbrook’s “Trash” shouts for Dillon Brooks caught live on Clippers vs Grizzlies game

The first game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies produced a handful of heat as the Clippers were able to leave the game holding the head of their star Russell Westbrook, who was looking down on the Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks.

The Clippers managed to clinch a victory over the host with a 141-132 scoreline at FedExForum on Wednesday. Both teams fought tooth and nail until the fourth quarter’s nine-point margin sealed the game for the visitors. Clippers’ Russell and Grizzlies’ Morant were the highest contributors to their teams.

However, during the second quarter, the Clippers’ point guard played mind games with Dillon, and despite there being no further altercation, the Grizzlies couldn’t return to the game anymore.
