Renck: Russell Westbrook Experience must be curtailed after Nuggets’ deflating loss to Timberwolves

The Russell Westbrook Experience left us nauseous.

As he stood in the corner, the clock near zero, Westbrook stared at the official in disbelief. His desperate fly-by resulted in a foul. Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s subsequent free throws resulted in a Nuggets’ double-overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

Get angry, Nuggets fans. You have permission. The Nuggets ran their losing streak against their rival to six straight games. And Westbrook, though not alone, was largely responsible. In the span of 14 seconds, he made it clear why his role must be reduced in the postseason.
