Dillon Brooks Blasts Russell Westbrook After Grizzlies vs. Clippers Game

In this story:
Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks is known for getting into it with opposing players. Going back and forth with Russell Westbrook for much of Wednesday night's game against the LA clippers, Brooks had a lot to say about the veteran point guard after their matchup.
"He had a good game, but his trash talk is wack," Brooks said of Westbrook.
When asked if he ever holds anything back, Brooks said, "No, I let it fly. I let it go. Then once I prove my point they shut up."
Brooks also called Westbrook a "punk" and "wack" in his postgame media session that was recorded by Law Murray of The Athletic. Once again refusing to hold back, the Grizzlies forward had a lot to say about the Clippers guard:
Just going to let Dillon Brooks' taking exception to Westbrook audio go here for the full part, with Westbrook saying earlier tonight that Brooks "maybe he got himself going..."

These two teams will play again on Friday, with hopefully several more pieces available. The Grizzlies were without Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Tyus Jones, while the Clippers were without both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. George will of course be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but Leonard was a late scratch due to personal reasons. Hopefully Leonard and several Grizzlies players will return to the mix on Friday, so these two teams can go at it with more of their top talent available.
After what was said postgame, expect some more fireworks from Dillon Brooks and Russell Westbrook on Friday.
