Tension between Russell Westbrook and Joel Embiid at the end of the game

At the end of a very exciting game, finished after 3 OT, Russell Westbrook and Joel Embiid exchanged some words. The star of OKC waved Embiid and told him to go home, as he explained in the post-game interview:

"I told him to go home," Westbrook said. "He was talking mess to Steve-O -- [who] fouled out -- waving to the crowd, which is unnecessary. Waving to Steve-O bye. You know, now it's time for him to go home."

Embiid answered in his own way: "He told me to go home, man. I mean, this is my home, so I guess it's on him to go home," Embiid said. "They won the game. I give them a lot of credit -- they did a lot of things. But I mean, the dude shot like 10-of-33. I wish I would've shot 33 times. I guess we would've had a better chance of actually winning the game. But he told me to go home, man. This is my home. I ain't going nowhere."
