Westbrook hit with flagrant after mixing it up with Curry, bowling over Barnes

It was a frustrating night for Russell Westbrook.

Struggling from the field and getting little help as his Thunder got rolled by the Dallas Mavericks, and having already picked up a technical foul, Westbrook let his emotions get the best of him on a chippy defensive possession in the third quarter.

After Seth Curry went chest-to-chest, then seemed to push off to gain separation, Westbrook tried to chase him out to the corner, before running into a Harrison Barnes screen. Or rather, running through it. A surly Westbrook dropped his shoulder and bowled Barnes right over, earning a flagrant foul for his efforts.

The Mavericks won 104-89, handing the Thunder their third straight loss.
