Russell Westbrook

PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Russell Westbrook did all he could on Wednesday night, totaling 19 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists, four steals and two 3-pointers in the Thunder’s 102-95 loss to the Jazz.

Outside of 7-of-19 shooting, Russ had a very nice outing in Game 2. It’s the third time in the last three weeks that Westbrook has snatched four steals. The Thunder may have come up short and now have to deal with a trip to Salt Lake City for Games 3 and 4 but this loss can’t be put on the shoulders of Mr. Triple Double. But perhaps a slightly more efficient offensive night will help the Thunder steal one in Utah over the next five days.
