Sunday's 76ers-Thunder game was a battle of staredowns.

Joel Embiid got the night started when he posterized Russell Westbrook with a vicious dunk and stared at the Thunder guard as he was on the floor. That was incredible enough, but it would get better.

All because Westbrook didn't forget.

The Thunder took control of the game in the second half, and as Westbrook dribbled out the clock, he was looking directly at the Sixers bench - most notably, at Embiid.

We can't overlook that Embiid and Westbrook exchanged words in the first Thunder-Sixers meeting back in December, so there was bound to be some antics on Sunday night given that it was the final meeting between the two teams.

While the poster dunk was a solid statement for Embiid, you just knew Westbrook would wait for his chance to get back at Embiid.
