DENVER — With a 36-foot three-pointer at the buzzer Sunday night in Denver, Russell Westbrook ended the Nuggets’ season.
It was an MVP moment from Westbrook, the likely MVP winner, who cemented himself in league history earlier in the quarter when he notched his 10th assist of the night on a Semaj Christon corner three, giving the 28-year-old his 42nd triple-double, one more than Oscar Robertson recorded in 1961-62 and now the most an NBA player has ever registered in a single season.
It was Westbrook’s night.
