The Los Angeles Clippers faced the Sacramento Kings in one of the most exciting encounters of this season recently. The Kings showed incredible heart and determination to win the game 176-175. Russell Westbrook made his much-anticipated debut for the Clippers, but his special night was not the most delightful experience of his career. On top of a heartbreaking loss, Westbrook was handed another humiliation during the post-game interview.

Kings’ De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk were interviewed after the game and Fox went all out in his response. When asked about their thoughts on the overall game, Fox lost all his filters and gave his honest thoughts about Westbrook. With an entertaining game and an equally entertaining press conference, NBA fans on Twitter erupted into a frenzy.
