On By Littum

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets blew out Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns by a score of 117-90 (at home in Colorado).

Russell Westbrook finished the win with 11 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals while shooting 5-of-12 from the field and 1-of-5 from three-point range in 25 minutes of action.

Many fans on social media reacted to his performance.

@InRussWeTrust04: “Russell Westbrook vs the Suns

11 points
5 rebounds
7 assists
2 steals

Nuggets are now 6-1 with Russ starting”

@JeremyNicolls: “Russell Westbrook stole the pass from Kevin Durant and dunked it was just beautiful to watch.”

@TheWestWolfPod: “The start of this 3rd quarter is EXACTLY why you should permanently start Russell Westbrook!”

@TheWestbrookEra: “KD woke up Russ thanks Mr. KD”

@AndrewDBailey: “If, by the end of this season, just one or two Nuggets muster a fraction of Russell Westbrook’s energy and desire to win, his contract will have been worth it.”

@RussFcb: “Every time Westbrook and KD meet, Russ either blocks him from behind or gets a steal. Tears”

@jjespinoza17: “It’s night and day when Westbrook is in charge. And it’s CLEARLY better when we play fast and come out and run. You have to be so slow now for no reason.”

@luke_kurtz1: “Russell Westbrook a human X-Factor…Brodie came out of the half ready to roll and the Nuggets turned the game around so quickly”

The Nuggets improved to 16-11 in 27 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

They will now travel to Arizona to play the Phoenix Suns (again) this Christmas.
