Russell Westbrook had a very forgettable sequence at the end of double overtime on Tuesday night that went a long way in deciding the epic Denver Nuggets-Minnesota Timberwolves game. The veteran missed an easy layup that would have given his team a three-point lead and then closed out the action by fouling Nickeil Alexander-Walker on a three-point attempt, allowing the deciding points to be scored from the foul line.
After the game Nuggets coach Michael Malone and Nikola Jokic, who had a 61-point triple-double, stood up for Westbrook with classic "win and lose as a team" comments.
