Houston Rockets point guard Patrick Beverley has an inexhaustible motor that can occasionally manifest as reckless aggression. No one in Chesapeake Energy Arena on Friday night knew that as well as Russell Westbrook, whose meniscus Beverley inadvertently tore in the first round of the 2013 playoffs.

After Beverley locked Westbrook down in the final minute to preserve a 102-99 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni got a taste of his defensive ace's excitability.

Beverley got a bit too hyped up celebrating the win, and just about bowled over his 65-year-old coach.
