Atlanta Hawks guard Rajon Rondo got the last laugh over Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook in their mini on-court spat on Friday at Capital One Arena.
After jawing at each other all night, it was Brodie that got the boot mid-game after getting his second technical foul early in the fourth quarter.
Rondo made sure to rub some salt on Westbrook's wound and even waved him goodbye as he was ejected from the floor. Here's the Hawks guard's parting shot before Russ was forced to hit the showers:

The two All-Star point guards have been chirpy all game, despite the Hawks pretty much dominating the home team from the start.
Both Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook received double technicals before halftime after things almost got physical between the two fiery competitors. The pair had to be separated by their teammates, though it looks like the trash talk continued in the second half.
Unfortunately for the Wizards, it was Westbrook's jawing that got the officials' attention for the second time and he was the only one disqualified from the game. Before his untimely ejection, Westbrook had 26 points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal. He shot 8-of-19 from the field and 3-of-5 from past the arc in 27 minutes.
