@NarrowGaming: "Westbrook's 3 point shot has pretty much disappeared in the last month. But if he can hit the ones that matter in the 4th quarter like he just did in this game, you can trust him on the court in crunch time"

Skip Bayless: "Russell Westbrook just managed to airball a wide-open lay-in. No flat-footed dunk attempt. No back board. Just, from the side of the rim, shot the ball completely over it. Another extraordinary blunder for the first-ballot Hall of Famer."
