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!”

Eventually, LeBron and co were able to see out an important victory. James managed to score 35 points on an impressive 68.4 percent shooting from the field, in addition to grabbing 12 rebounds, dishing out seven assists and contributing two blocks and a steal.
In what is his 21st NBA season, LeBron once again proved that he has plenty more left in the tank, excelling in offense, defense and proving his irreplaceable presence on the court in his most recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
