On By Littum

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets hosted the New York Knicks in Colorado.

The Nuggets lost by a score of 145-118 and fell to 9-7 in their first 16 games.

Russell Westbrook finished with 27 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block while shooting 9/16 from the field and 4/7 from three-point range in 26 minutes of playing time.

Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

StatMuse: “Russell Westbrook in the fourth quarter:

24 PTS
8-11 FG
3-4 3P

His most points in a single quarter in his career.”

@TheWestWolfPod: “Russell Westbrook’s defense, I think, is badly needed for more minutes by the Nuggets. Also, his passing ability.

I believe Russell Westbrook is the best defender on the Nuggets behind only Aaron Gordon who is currently injured. I’m talking about all aspects of the defense.”

@SkyForcein4: “Westbrook is single-handedly trying to pull the nuggets back in this game”

@teddygreeniii: “Westbrook athletics must be top 2 percentile for humans. Lifetime counts.”

@TownsMuse: “Westbrook is a fun player, going 110% while down 30”

@ZekeNYKnicks: “Wow, Russell Westbrook still has that speed in transition.”

@MilesDoesntCare: “Russell Westbrook is having a clinic right now”

@JSG206: “We brought this dude Westbrook to the vet mine lol he’s been an absolute monster for us”

The Nuggets play their next game on Wednesday night when they visit John Collins and the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.

Westbrook is in his 17th NBA season (and first playing for the Nuggets).
