Salah Mejri's angry confrontation with Russell Westbrook leads to bench scuffle

During Game 4 of Thunder-Mavs, there was a bizarre scuffle between on-court Dallas players and the Oklahoma City bench players in the second quarter.

It started with Salah Mejri attempting to inbound the ball, but Anthony Morrow had a tight grip on it on the bench. Mejri responded by slapping and grabbing at the ball, which led to Morrow giving Mejri a push and tossing the ball over his head.

Then, J.J. Barea walked up to Morrow and started talking. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook walked up to Mejri and started saying things to him.

The Thunder coaches did a pretty good job of holding their players on the sideline, so the only immediate consequences were technicals on Westbrook and Mejri. Plus, a delay of game on OKC.

Update: Things are still heated between Westbrook and Mejri through the third quarter. This play resulted in a shooting foul on Mejri and nothing else.

Update 2: Kevin Durant was ejected with a flagrant 2 within the final minute. The Thunder won, 119-108, to go up 3-1 in the series.
