“Earlier, I caught wind of an article that came out about Russell Westbrook in our locker room after Game 2, which was a completely arbitrary article and pointless, and unnecessary by whoever it was that was put out. So that article is just so arbitrary; it’s so far from the truth,” Gordon said.
Gordon’s comments suggest that the reported incident may have been exaggerated or entirely inaccurate. The story gained attention after ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported a heated exchange between the two players following Game 2 of their first-round series. It has stirred speculation about the team’s chemistry.
