In the starting lineup for just the third time this season, Russell Westbrook poured in a season-high 29 points to help the Denver Nuggets defeat his former employer, the Oklahoma City Thunder, 124-122 on Wednesday night at Ball Arena.
After the game, Westbrook was asked if some regular season games mean a little bit more. The Nuggets star said that "all of them" mean the same to him—he brings the same intensity regardless. Moments later, a reporter mentioned that fiery Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who was assessed a technical foul for arguing a call against star center Nikola Jokic, also brings that same intensity every night.
