The two sides exchanged words midway through the second quarter when Lillard reached down to pick up the ball at a timeout and Westbrook kicked it.Lillard closed out the half with a left-handed layup to make it 68-52. Plumlees basket stretched Portlands lead to 90-65 late in the third quarter.Plumlee said he didnt feel Portland went through any lulls.Every time they made a 3 or they had two baskets in a row, we would get right back on defense, we would get a good shot on offense so we didnt let anything get out of control, he said. We didnt let anything snowball.TIP-INSThunder: Westbrook drew the ire of fans when he forcefully threw the ball and it went into the seats.
