Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was rightfully irate with officials following Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Last Two Minute report published Tuesday deemed that Westbrook was fouled twice on consecutive shots in the final seconds of the game - first on the drive with seven seconds left, then again on his missed 3-point shot that sealed the result.

Both times Westbrook would have attempted free throws to tie or potentially take the lead in what went down as a 110-108 loss.

"You’re standing right there! Blow the f---ing whistle!" Westbrook shouted at the official, according to Brett Dawson of NewsOK.

Head coach Billy Donovan backed up his star player in his postgame news conference.

"From my view, I thought he got fouled on the 3 and I thought he got fouled on the drive to the basket," Donovan said. "I’ll go back and watch the film and I could be mistaken, but obviously I thought both those calls were right there in front of me."

Westbrook finished with 46 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists in the loss.
