Russell Westbrook has been HUGE for the Nuggets in this series.

To have a veteran off-the-bench who can score, crash boards, facilitate, defend, and bring energy is such a luxury to have. Yeah, he has his quirks, but he perfectly plays his role for the team.

📊 Series: 13.8 PTS | 4.8 REB | 2.8 AST | 1.3 STL
🔥 42% 3PT in 25.7 minutes off the bench

📊 Game 1: 15 PTS | 8 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 2 3PM
📊 Game 2: 14 PTS | 4 REB | 3 3PM
📊 Game 3: 3 PTS | 1 3PM
📊 Game 4: DID NOT PLAY
📊 Game 5: 21 PTS | 3 3PM
📊 Game 6: 14 PTS | 10 REB | 6 AST | 2 3PM
📊 Game 7: 16 PTS | 5 REB | 5 AST | 5 STL | 2 3PM

People might have a divided view of Westbrook’s career, but since he began to decline from MVP shape, he happily embraced a lesser role and performed the highest within those limitations.

🔥 From a stat-stuffing MVP to an elite 3&D player. Such a legend!

He is a top-notch veteran and former MVP and he deserved this series win, not just a bystander, but an integral and major part of it. And his best game in the series came in the most crucial of all, in Game 7. 💪🏽

Clippers dared him to shoot the triple in this series, he delivered and answered the disrespect with a 42% clip (13/31) from behind the arc! 🔥

Keep on going Russ! 🔥
