Watch: Russell Westbrook, P.J. Washington ejected after heated exchange

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 4/26/24

Los Angeles Clippers star Russell Westbrook did not have a great night in Game 3 of their first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.

Not only did the Clippers lose, 101-90, to fall behind 2-1 in the series, but Westbrook had an awful night on the stat sheet and then ended up getting himself ejected with six minutes to play in the fourth quarter for picking up a double-technical foul during an altercation.

Dallas' P.J. Washington was also ejected during the altercation for picking up his second technical foul of the game.

Have a look.

It all started with Westbrook wrapping up Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic and aggressively swinging him around. When Doncic responded by getting in Westbrook's face, Westbrook shoved him and then had to deal with Washington who came flying into the defense of his teammate.

Along with the ejection, Westbrook was 0-for-7 from the field, including 0-for-4 from three-point range, and finished the game with just a single point (1-for-2 from the line) and two turnovers.

The Clippers have now lost two consecutive games in the series and find themselves in a bit of a hole after taking the first game.

The series continues on Sunday afternoon in Dallas.
