HOUSTON -- When these two young middleweights get old, maybe they will sit down and sip sweet tea and laugh about their battles together.
For now, basketball needs Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley.
Tuesday night was such great theater at the Toyota Center as Westbrook and Beverley fought for 94 feet. Sure, Beverley had some help from his Houston Rockets teammates in guarding the Oklahoma City Thunder’s star guard. But for the majority of the night, it was Westbrook vs. Beverley.
This series ended with the Rockets knocking off the Thunder in five games, clinching the series with a 105-99 victory.
