Beverley and Westbrook have history going back to the first round of the 2013 playoffs, when Beverley, who was with the Rockets at the time, went for a steal against Westbrook and caught his knee on the way.
Westbrook tore his meniscus on the play, but the Thunder went on to win the series 4-2.
The Thunder won Tuesday's game 128-110. The two teams match up again Dec. 15.
