The former Laker had a great game, much to the irritation of LeBron who grew irritated at his own teammates for not closing him down enough.
Audio from the court revealed James’ fury as Westbrook ran riot for large periods of the game.
“No, we’re better than that,” James could be heard saying. “You just take the f*ck off, you’ve got to guard him,” he added.
Moments later, LeBron took matters into his own hands and blocked Westbrook before stating: “Give me that sh*t!”
