The Oklahoma City Thunder put together a convincing win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night, with a strong second-half performance locking up the road win.
It was also a good night for each member of the Thunder’s Big Three: Russell Westbrook had a triple-double, with 29 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds. That’s standard operating procedure for the Thunder, I suppose, but Paul George (31 points) and Carmelo Anthony (22 points) also had big nights.
It was a strong road performance worthy of celebration, which is why when Anthony was getting interviewed live on TV after the 127-117 win, Westbrook decided to have a little fun with his Thunder teammate. The problem is, the water he decided to have fun with seems to be a bit too cold.
What followed is a bit of yelling on a hot mic that’s not exactly safe for work.
What’s great about this, first of all, is that the Fox Sports reporter doesn’t flinch when Melo uses not one, but two curse words in rapid succession. That’s dedication to your craft right there.
Swearing on live TV is something television folks will always be wary about, but honestly it’s just good to see the Thunder having some fun on the court these days. It’s been a long time coming, and while the team is far from where they want to be, some of the chemistry they’ve been hoping to build since October seems to be coming along slowly.
