"I guess if you cuss, you get fined."

Russell Westbrook has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for inappropriate language used during his post-game press conference following OKC's loss to Houston in Game 2. 

Westbrook, who recorded a 51-point triple-double on Wednesday night, said "I don't give a fuck about the line," when a reporter asked him about his latest triple-double.

The Thunder point guard had this to say about the $15,000 fine he received for his candid response during the post-game presser, per ESPN,

"I guess if you cuss, you get fined. So as soon as somebody else cuss, make sure when they cuss in the media, I hope they get fined too."

Westbrook and the Thunder will play host to the Rockets tonight in a crucial Game 3 at 9:30pm EST on ESPN.
