NBA fans roasted Russell Westbrook’s dramatic reaction to the LeBron-Stewart altercation

There’s no such thing as a quiet day in the NBA, and Sunday’s game between the Lakers and Pistons proved as much.

LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart were ejected in the third quarter after the Pistons forward took a brutal shot to the face from LeBron while jockeying for rebounding position. Stewart, who was cut around his eye after the foul, charged towards LeBron in an attempt to fight.

Then, after the two were separated, Stewart broke free AGAIN and charged after LeBron. Good thing LeBron had Russell Westbrook to keep matters handled, though.

I mean, take a look at how Westbrook responded as Stewart went barreling towards the Lakers players.

He went full “HOLD ME BACK” in the corner, and you best believe that NBA fans took notice.
