Westbrook returned to contribute today, feeling hot in the first half, and also took advantage of the opponent's three-point gap, including two three-pointers on 6-of-9 shooting, and scored 16 points.

Westbrook played 25 minutes on 8-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-6 three-pointers, and scored 21 points. And when he's on the court, Westbrook once again shows his unparalleled energy, whether it's talking to Clippers players or interacting with fans on the sidelines.

Westbrook

"It's a very important part of the game, and the average person doesn't necessarily see it, and the data doesn't necessarily show up. But I think that energy is very powerful and it helps your team win. "I'm proud of that and I'm ready every day to bring that energy to my team." ”

Nuggets acting head coach David Adelman also praised Westbrook after the game: "What's special about Russ is how stubborn he is, and that's the way he plays. When he finds his rhythm and starts to play, the impact of that force is always particularly amazing. ”
