Westbrook goes nuts in warmups, sounds like he's celebrating Irving's game-winner

It's assumed Russell Westbrook is still holding onto his grudge against former teammate Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors, and Kyrie Irving delivered Westbrook the perfect Christmas gift on Sunday evening.

Therefore, many assumed Westbrook was celebrating Irving's game-winning jumper when he ran off the court while warming up for the Oklahoma City Thunder's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

As he ran deliriously down the tunnel, it sounded as though Westbrook may have shouted, "Thank you, Kyrie!"

He later denied having said Irving's name.

As ESPN reports, Westbrook apparently ran from the court before Irving's shot in Cleveland.
