OKC met the Utah Jazz in the First Round of the 2018 Western Conference playoffs, and the game provided plenty of entertainment both on and off the court. The Jazz eventually advanced from a tight series, with the Thunder's season coming to an end during a Game 6 clash in Utah.

Throughout the game, Westbrook was seen engaging in back and forths with the Utah crowd, and as the 30-year-old headed down the tunnel following the loss, he engaged in a verbal confrontation with a Utah fan, swiping the phone out of his hands.

The fan appeared to be recording the All-Star as he left the court, although after Westbrook shouted a few words at the fan, multiple arena officials quickly jumped in to stop the incident from escalating any further. Neither Westbrook nor the fan faced any subsequent punishment.
