Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook went through his normal dance routine with teammate Cameron Payne prior to Monday’s Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks, but he had a few unexpected visitors along the way.
Mavericks bench players Charlie Villanueva and Justin Anderson casually walked right in the middle of Westbrook’s dance routine and interrupted his dabbing, which clearly angered the star point guard. Westbrook even shoved both players out of the way at separate points during the routine.

Ticking Westbrook off might not seem like a good idea, but the Mavericks stole home-court advantage in the teams’ first-round NBA playoff series with an impressive 85-84 win in Game 2. So apparently Villanueva and Anderson were on to something.
