Russell Westbrook Predicted His Crazy Left-Handed Dagger Dunk Before The Game

On Wednesday night, Westbrook had 30 points on 9-of-20 shooting with seven rebounds and nine assists in a 105-103 win over the Houston Rockets.

Griffin has spent most of his career playing with one of the greatest point guards of all-time in Chris Paul and joining the Thunder would allow him to play with another special point guard in Russell Westbrook.

With the Thunder leading by three points in the game’s final seconds, Westbrook grabbed the inbounds pass and sprinted full speed at the rim, where he elevated over Rockets’ big man Clint Capela for a monster left-handed slam that iced the game.

“[Jordan’s] a guy if he respects you and the things that you do, he took time out of his day to come all the way to Oklahoma City to do this for me, which is an unbelievable honor”, Westbrook said.

“I don’t worry about other people”, he said. Houston missed an opportunity when Harden and Trevor Ariza failed to connect while Ariza was open in the corner. “For me, I didn’t think I’d be playing in the National Basketball Association, so he was somebody that I constantly watched everyday”.

“It’s an honor for me”, Westbrook said.

But Donovan went back to his group to start Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets.

Westbrook is ending 57.1 percent of the Thunder’s clutch-time possessions with a shot, a turnover, or by getting fouled. Harden was also named Western Conference Player of the Week.

However, a game billed as a matchup between former teammates and current solo superstars Westbrook and James Harden ended up being defined more by the performances of their supporting casts.

“We were too slow offensively; our pace wasn’t good at all”, James Harden said.

Taking over as the point guard in Mike D’Antoni’s offense this season, Harden’s been brilliant but even more so in the first half.

After a replay, the ball was given to Oklahoma City. The last few games the second unit for the Thunder have been destroyed when Westbrook sat, and the defense that got the team early wins has gone into hibernation. 10 assists per game should come easily for Harden.

The Pistons (6-5) improved to 5-0 at home despite being without Drummond and Reggie Jackson, who hasn’t played this season due to knee tendinitis.
