Russell Westbrook's Timberwolves implosion will be hard to forget. Let's try to remember the best of him anyway.
The Nuggets need the 2017 NBA MVP to be at his best for them to succeed in the playoffs. On Tuesday, we saw what happened when he wasn't.
The difference? Curry's performance came in a win, while Jokić's showing was spoiled by a pair of late-game Russell Westbrook gaffes that pretty much gift-wrapped a double-overtime victory to Minnesota after Denver appeared to have the game in hand.
If there's only one person on the Denver Nuggets who deserves to be mad at Russell Westbrook for his poor decision-making in a 140-139 double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it's the iconic Nikola Jokic.
Nikola Jokic absolutely went off on Tuesday night. On the surface this isn’t anything new, but finishing the game with 61 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, all while shooting 62 percent from the field and 54 percent from three — that’s something else entirely.
