In Thursday's exhibition game in Mexico City, Rajon Rondo was sent to the showers a bit earlier than expected.
The Sacramento Kings guard was ejected against the Boston Celtics after receiving his second technical foul, which came when simply staring at the referee not saying a word.
Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena the Oklahoma City Thunder (6-4) took the floor against the Boston Celtics (5-4) in a dramatic game, which ended in a Celtics win 100-85 over the Thunder.
All-Star Russell Westbrook was defended by guard Marcus Smart as he forced Westbrook into a rough outing shooting the rock, only connection on just 5-20 from the field, with the majority of his 27 points coming at the charity stripe (15-of-17).
Beside Westbrook's rough shooting night, he still was showing why he is an All-Star with a few highlights. One coming early in the game as he dropped Celtics guard Isiah Thomas like a bad habit. The other came on the defensive end, as he pinned Smart's layup attempt off the backboard.
Smart was not going to accept that as he already was having a great night guarding Westbrook, as he showed his own blocking attributes, chasing down Thunder guard D.J. Augustin.
Russell Westbrook also had some loving words for Smart and his performance in a post game interview!
