For at least a moment Sunday night, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook buried the hatchet to connect on the most talked-about highlight of the All-Star Game's first half.

"It was a nice give-and-go," Westbrook told TNT's David Aldridge on the sidelines. "He made a nice pass. I barely got over the rim, but it was a nice give-and-go."
"It was pretty cool," Warriors big man Draymond Green added. "It was cute."

Aldridge gave Durant his own time to reflect on the special moment at the conclusion of the first half.
"It was a great basketball play," Durant said. "He was open, so I threw him the lob, and he can jump really high, so yeah, good play.
"It was nothing more than a great pass, great finish."
It was one fleeting moment that both players downplayed, but a stark contrast compared to the former duo's interactions last weekend in Oklahoma City.
