Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

@_jhonmarkjr: "2 straight games for the Nuggets where Westbrook had a good game for the first 3 quarters then completely becomes an idiot in the most crucial/clutch moments of the game💀😭"

@Lilmikyb: "Westbrook another disaster class in the final minutes after having a decent game"

@HeroKiddo72: "Mike Malone should be fired staying with Russell Westbrook. It’s terrible. Put the ball in Pickett’s hand."

@Beastbr00k0: "Russell Westbrook after 3 quarters against the Spurs:

30 Points
10 Rebounds
6 Assists
2 Steals

The apology better be as loud as the disrespect"

Will Petersen: "Looked like we might get a Russell Westbrook redemption game, but he was brutal those last five minutes. However, you can’t read too much into a night the Nuggets basically told us they didn’t care about winning."

@DylanSMitchell: "Russell Westbrook shouldn’t see another minute as a Nugget. Give his minutes to Pickett. Between last night and his decision making in the 4th tonight he’s blown back to back games."

@RealSCrociata: "If Russell Westbrook's name was Bones Hyland, the Nuggets would've benched him already."
