Russell Westbrook and Steven Adams have let go of their animosity toward Reggie Jackson after a sour encounter back in 2016, as the latter celebrated enthusiastically as his Detroit Pistons took a home win against a Kevin Durant-less Oklahoma City Thunder.
Both Adams and Westbrook were visibly upset with Jackson's celebration, mocking his former teammates as the Pistons took the Thunder down.
Nowadays, it's only a mere distant memory that neither Westbrook, Adams, or even Jackson care to get into.
“What'd he do? He tweeted,” asked a puzzled Adams after Wednesday's shootaround before struggling to remember the ocassion, returning to his usual nonchalant self. “I think so. Whatever floats your boat, man, tickles your fancy, it's up to you.

Westbrook was his usual dismissive self, playing dumb in a more obvious way than Adams did, before storming out of the availability session.
“No, I don't,” said Westbrook when asked of the incident. “I don't know what you're talking about, man.”

Jackson himself doesn't care to get into it himself with his Pistons in a much better place than they were upon his first return to the city he played for during the first three-and-a-half years of his professional career.
“It’s another game. Another game. It’s another game,” he said, according to Fred Katz of The Norman Transcript.
The Pistons are now 11-6 on the season and looking to keep themselves among the Eastern Conference elite, while the Thunder are coming off from a staple win against the defending champions Golden State Warriors, looking to build on their momentum.
