Russell Westbrook said Thursday's game when the Oklahoma City Thunder visit Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors will be just another game.
"I play every game like it's my last," Westbrook said. "I play every game the same, always. Like I've been saying for years. And regardless of who we play, I'm going to play the same way."
Billy Donovan offered his take on the matchup.
"It's not just Kevin. We're playing the Warriors," Donovan said. "He's part of that. That's Klay Thompson. Steph Curry. Draymond Green. It's Kevin. It's all those guys. It's their whole team we have to prepare for."
Durant and Westbrook have not spoken since Durant sent a text to Westbrook informing him of his decision. In a recent interview, Durant expressed some regret about how he handled that situation.
Asked if he saw the comments, Westbrook declined to answer.
"Like I said in Oklahoma City, I don't know if you guys know, but I'm not answering any more Kevin questions," he said. "If you want to talk about basketball, I'm more than welcome to talk about that. But other than that."
