After getting his feet taken out from under him, Westbrook looked back at Beverley with his hands out.
After Beverley was called for a foul, he started talking to Westbrook before the two started jawing back and forth.
Ultimately, according to The Athletic, police had to be brought onto the court to keep the two players separated.
