The drama in recent Golden State Warriors-Oklahoma City Thunder matchups has typically been between Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and his former teammate Kevin Durant, but on Saturday night, it was Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony who got Durant's goat.
Things grew heated between the two when they got tangled up at the elbow during a second-quarter possession, coming nose to nose and exchanging some unfriendly words after Anthony responded to a push-off with a retaliatory shove.
Both were assessed technical fouls for the scuffle.
