On Thursday night, the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 119-107 in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series.
Russell Westbrook finished the victory with eight points, three rebounds and one block while shooting 3/8 from the field and 0/2 from the three-point range in 17 minutes of playing time.
Many people reacted to his performance on social media.
Jason Timpf: "What a downright damaging Westbrook stretch to erase an otherwise strong 1Q for Denver.
He just needs to chill out. Corner threes and cuts. Otherwise feed it to Jokic."
Nick Wright: "Russ has had some really nice moments for Denver this postseason, and he might have more… BUT he was absolutely brutal in Games 4 & 5 and now they are *-14 in his 7 minutes* and *+16 in the 26 non-Russ minutes*.
Adelman can’t leave him in."
Skip Bayless: "SCREEN WESTBROOK"
@JG4President: "Russell Westbrook with one of the worst 2 minute sequences I’ve ever seen"
@NewMediaSports_: "Westbrook is a legend I can’t slander him but man"
@BricksCenter: "Russell Westbrook at half: 4 PTS 3 TOV 1-3 FG 2-4 FT -14"
@kylerussforever: "I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE RUSSELL WESTBROOK"
@PerSources: "One thing about Russell Westbrook, he has 0 fear lol"
@RussFcb: "Jalen Williams you can learn a thing or two from Russell Westbrook ,he's got more points than you, he's more clutch than you"
