On Tuesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers faced the Oklahoma City Thunder which gave fans a chance to see two of the best point guards in the league square off for the first time this season.
The game started with OKC leading in the early minutes of the first quarter, but when Russell Westbrook went to the bench, the Blazers took advantage of it and snatched the lead from the visiting team. When he re-entered the game, he had some acts of gamesmanship done on Damian Lillard to fire up his team and try to get under his skin.

At halftime, Portland had control of the game and were leading by 16 points, 68-52. That gave the Blazers' social media team the opportunity to troll the Thunder and take a shot at their star point guard on Twitter.

The teams have two more matchups this season with the next one on February 5 at Chesapeake Energy Arena. It will be interesting to see how the Thunder fans will welcome the Blazers during their visit and what clowning their social media team will possibly do to get back at them for trolling on Tuesday
