Russell Westbrook had 16 points in the Denver Nuggets' Game 7 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers, capping an strong series performance for the well-traveled and still wildly entertaining guard. He authored a memorable moment midway through the fourth quarter when he created a steal and broke free for a dunk, then chose to hang on the rim until he got a technical foul. It was a very cool and clearly well-appreciated moment for Westbrook, who used it as a jumping-off point for a further celebration.
Still fired-up after the final buzzer started the clock on a second round series with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Westbrook entered the Denver locker room with a message.
