Villanueva creeps on Westbrook during Game 5 pregame

Charlie Villanueva of the Dallas Mavericks hasn't seen the floor enough to make an impact against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their opening-round series.
Since minutes are hard to come by from head coach Rick Carlisle, the 11-year pro resorted to psychological warfare against Thunder guard Russell Westbrook.
It all began when he attempted to interrupt Westbrook and rookie Cameron Payne from taking part in their pregame dance ritual earlier in the series.
Returning to Chesapeake Energy Arena for Game 5 on Monday night, Villanueva resorted to creeping up behind the five-time All-Star prior to tipoff.
