The Nuggets lost by a score of 123-120.

Russell Westbrook finished with 16 points, one rebound, four assists and two steals while shooting 5-of-13 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range in 27 minutes of action.

Many fans reacted to his performance.

@Beastbr00k0: “RUSSELL WESTBROOK AND NIKOLA JOKIC MAY BE THE BEST DUO IN THE LEAGUE “

@JeffJSays: “Russell Westbrook is overrated. He’s one of the best Pgs to ever do it and fits in well with the Nuggets. He can still be productive in his bench role and Brodie showed that tonight.”

@TheWestWolfPod: “Y’all know this play by Russell Westbrook was NUTZ, right!?!?”

@SwipaCam: “Russell Westbrook’s character may not reflect it, but he’s been one of the best defenders in the league this season. Constantly putting his hands on the ball and in passing lanes.”

@graceofthecurls: “I understand all the Westbrook stans now. He’s been a gem for 13 games and I’d already run through a wall for him”

@TheWestbrookEra: “The most athletic player ever, I don’t care what people think”

Sam Quinn: “I swear every Nuggets game I watch hinges on Russell Westbrook in some significant way. Either he shoots 20% and has a lot of bad turnovers, or he’s great and single-handedly holds Denver alive during the bench minutes. There is no in between at all.”

@Three_Cone: “PUT RUSSELL WESTBROOK IN THE THREE POINT CONTEST “

The Nuggets play their next game on Saturday night when they visit LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

They are 8-6 in their first 14 games, which has them as the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
