Since Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors last year, his team's games versus the Oklahoma City Thunder have been highly anticipated, as he faces off against his former teammates, including Russell Westbrook. It's no secret that they do not have the best of relationships anymore, which has also been seen on the court.
That continued on Tuesday night, as the two figured in some trash talking. When the reigning MVP forced a turnover on Durant, they exchanged a few choice words for each other, to the delight of the fans inside Chesapeake Energy Arena, and fired them up even more.

After getting swept by the Warriors in last year's regular season, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder are looking to revenge by upsetting the defending champions on the night. It's also the first time his two new All-Star teammates will be helping him win over Durant and the Warriors.
A victory will end the Thunder's two game slide, and would improve their record to 8-9 for the season. They will also be able to become only the fifth team to beat the Warriors this season, who own a 13-4 win-loss slate, and tied for the top spot in the Western Conference.
