That said, the 2017 MVP had five turnovers.

One of his passes went out of bounds, and many fans reacted on social media (h/t @BricksCenter).

Westbrook is coming off a solid season where he averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 27.3% from the three-point range in 68 games for the Los Angeles Clippers.

He is going into his 16th NBA season (and first playing for the Nuggets).
