Watch: Westbrook destroys Towns' two-handed dunk attempt

Mark D. Smith / USA TODAY Sports

Russell Westbrook wasn't in the friendliest of moods on Christmas night, and he rudely denied Karl-Anthony Towns' request for two points in the first quarter of the Thunder's game against the Timberwolves.

Towns went up strong, too, going for the dunk with both hands. But Westbrook countered with even more force, whacking the ball right out of Towns' hands and off the window. If anything, Westbrook blocked it too hard, as the ball ricocheted right to Wolves forward Jordan Hill - who was standing outside the paint - for a layup.
