Russell Westbrook turns back clock in Nuggets’ win vs. OKC Thunder

The lift isn’t quite the same. Neither is the speed. 

Yet in spite of age, altitude or nostalgia, nothing kept Russell Westbrook from looking familiar once mid-air on Wednesday night in Denver as the Nuggets held off the Thunder for a 124-122 win

He was still the same ball of energy that Oklahoma City cherished. He was still the catalyst for what felt like an unlikely comeback, a tale he played part in plenty of times over the years. Westbrook meant everything to Denver’s improbable win, a necessary throwback to a better time — both for him and the Nuggets.

He finished with 29 points, six rebounds and six assists, drilling 3 of his 4 3-point attempts. He soared toward the rim, showing off touch that has seemed lost at times this season. 

Westbrook enjoyed his best game as a Nugget on Wednesday, and all who watched were reminded of the essence of Westbrook.
