Back to where the dream began, Westbrook was extremely calm!

Westbrook gave a big hat at the last moment, then assisted Gordon to make a three-pointer from the wing. After Gordon scored a 3-pointer, Westbrook did not celebrate at all but focused on defense, successfully interfering with Jaylen Williamsway's long three-pointer! This is Westbrook's first return to Oklahoma to play the playoffs after leaving the Thunder. He devoted all his strength to the field in this game, showing his signature vitality and fighting spirit.

assisted, Gordon scored three-pointers to the Thunder

Westbrook successfully defended with all his heart

He performed well in the third quarter and scored 10 points in a single quarter and played the fourth quarter. At the last moment, Jaylen Williams made a layup with a big hat, and then missed a chance to overtake the three-pointer. However, he did not rashly at the last moment, but instead sent a key assist to help Gordon complete the final kill!

Westbrook played for 30 minutes in the whole game, making 7 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and scoring 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the game.

Regarding Westbrook's missed shot from the outside, Gordon believed in the interview: taking an open position is the right choice, and the right choice is taking an empty position, and Westbrook made the right choice. Don't hesitate to shoot if you miss or make a shot.

Westbrook's salary this season is only $3.3 million, and next season is only $3.47 million. So will the Nuggets raise Westbrook's salary?
