On Saturday evening, the Denver Nuggets played the Washington Wizards (in Washington, D.C.).

Russell Westbrook got the start since Jamal Murray was ruled out with a Hamstring injury.

That said, the Nuggets lost by a score of 122-113.

Westbrook finished his night with seven points, ten rebounds, 12 assists, four steals and one block while shooting 3/5 from the field in 32 minutes of playing time.

Many fans reacted to his performance on social media.

@TheWestWolfPod: "Russ stops Poole for 3 straight possessions. Result..... he asks for a screen to get Russ off of him. The sign of defensive respect."

@Cameronn05: "I know it crazy because the max contracts but Joker Gordon Watson Braun Westbrook only players I would look to keep if im Denver"

@Thirst22: "Westbrook needs to start over Jamal Murray"

@myhappymustache: "Promise you they gonna find a way to blame this on Russell Westbrook"

@BigBoss_Dinero: "Russell Westbrook gon make sure he get his stats for the game no matter if the team lose"

@abid26_: "Westbrook 2 dunks were so back"

The Nuggets will play their next game on Sunday when they travel to Atlanta for a showdown with Trae Young and the Hawks.

With the loss to the Wizards, they dropped to 11-10 in their first 21 games, which has them as the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
